I often used to go in the original wind tunnel in Brackley when it was running. That was a very old design. Even sitting in the control room during tests TBF it wasn't overly noisy. You certainly heard it standing next to the tunnel but once inside offices it was greatly diminished.KimiRai wrote: ↑16 Nov 2023, 02:22Well... you make a good point, hahaonewingedangel wrote: ↑15 Nov 2023, 16:38You'd think being separated from the noise of the wind tunnel and machine shops would be a benefit for the design office.
The flipside was when it was running you got a sense of "good, they are testing something new" so it was a sub conscious psychological boost
