We went so far as to consider actually doing that... Building
whistles to install in the places where the pressurization system
entered the tube. Thus we'd be able to play a tune by opening and
closing the various valves. Ended up not doing it because there
wasn't a method of controlling all the individual valves without
modifying the control system. (A *BIG* No No.)
