Somehow I really want to hear what these machines sound like. It would be great to have an audio engineer make some good quality sound recordings of one of these machines. The pictures just aren't enough for me.
- jacquesm 9y agoThe mainframe server room I used to frequent was pretty loud, loud enough that you had to get close to someone and raise your voice to be heard. The worst racket was made by the line printers, and even if the ambient noise really was quite bad those were still encaged in their own sound-proof enclosure. Not an environment you want to spend a whole lot of time in.
- mathgenius 9y agoWell I wouldn't want one of these 405's in my bedroom, but I realize that I do even miss hearing the sound of my harddrive clicking away. It makes me feel like something real is happening. Do you remember the scene in "the day after" when all the shit is going down, and the clatter and buzzing of the teletype machines...? Just so terrifying with all those sounds.
