I know colo where people wear the big airport looking headsets when they

of rack servers in a giant cement room. Sure you aren't going to die or
anything but, it ain't good for your ears either. If you have to scream
at the guy ten feet away it's probably loud enough to use some sort of
hearing protection. If you're back there for 20 minutes who cares.
Probably still isn't great for your ears but, whatever.
That's what made me wonder about the sound level in these old pictures
with people working at their desks calmly like they were in any old
office. I've been around similar gear one piece at a time and they were
pretty loud. Still the frequency of the sound is much lower though.
Might make it much easier to take. These small high rpm fans are
piercing. I could never imagine sitting at a desk answering a phone
among them.

With all those 729 magtape drives? Deafening.

Now days people often put on hearing protection before for going into
the racks.
