You have to remember that each one of those drives has a vacuum pump
for the columns. And most likely a fan.
The noise level was a loud-ish "white noise", punctuated by louder
noises, like printers, punches or readers. A lot of people didn't
mind it, but I could only take a few hours at a time before I needed
a break.
