The inverter whine on the 360/50 and /65 was completely 
insane, and the 2500 Hz output put the pulses from the 
push-pull SCRs at 5 KHz, near the ear's peak sensitivity.  
They had to lay out the machine room so nobody would have to 
be near it for more than a few seconds.  The tape library 
and CE work area was back behind the CPU.

But, it was not really audible near the console.
