<p>I'm new here. I've been looking all over the internet for a place to ask a very simple question. (I'm a little surprised there isn"t a category here just for the ISS.)</p><p> </p><p>I found a couple questions here about station noise, but not much in the answers. What I'd like to know is: on a practical basis, what does the station actually sound like?"</p><p> </p><p>There are statements that it is too noisy. Google found that NASA had done a noise survey, altho I haven't found anything written about the results of that survey. Some place I saw some decibel figures but I neither knew what they really meant nor remember them now.</p><p> </p><p>I asked about this on a forum where they claim to have amateur radio contact with the station and suggested that someone could ask Peggy Whitsen about it, but there was never a single reply.</p><p> </p><p>What I'd like to know is what earthly analogy might be used to describe station noise? Taking a flight on a big jet? Riding an elevator? Listening to a StarTrek Voyager sound track? Listening to a train go by while waiting in a car with the windoes closed? With the windows open? </p><p> </p><p>Anybody have a clue?</p><p> </p><p>Thanks </p>
