Re: APU noises

Yeah, I noticed that too. A new APU noise in the audio that I hadn't
noticed before. The old steam locomotive engine ch-ch-ch, of each little burst of
power being applied with each little squirt of fuel on to the catalyst
bed. But also, a loud high pitch gear whine that I hadn't heard before. The
gear whine was noticeably winding down after they turned them off one at a
time. If I had that gear whine in my car, I'd be worried.

This is really just a comment.

When Discovery landed, the APUs were still running and they sounded very
like some older car windscreenwiper motors, only louder of course.

Also there was an accompanying sound that reminded me of a hedgehog
foraging, ie sniffing about very loudly.

I knew it was the APUs as when they got the OK to turn them off you could
plainly hear them idle to nothing.
