[AT] Noise Concerns, John Deerre

[charlie hill]

A while back apparently one of our TV's developed a high frequency squeal.
Lynn kept complaining about it and telling me I had to do something about 
it.
I never heard it.  She kept insisting and at some point (after I had figured 
out
it must be in the range of my normal ear noise) she said "how can you stand 
that?"
I said, don't you realize I hear that same noise 24 hours a day?  She didn't 
fuss
about it anymore.  For all I know the TV might still be doing it.

My dad bought a pair of 4020 diesel powershift tractors in 1966. One is
still on the farm and in use.  The other is long gone, as one of my
brothers insisted it get the M&W turbocharger kit because one of his
cousins had bought a new IH1468 when he came home from Vietnam.  I was
long gone from the farm by then and I couldn't tell you about noise.  I
can, however, say that 4020 did not last long. Turbocharging it ruined
it.  It was replaced with a 4630 in 1974.

It seems us older fellows thought more noise meant more power, and the
younger ones thought a very whiny turbocharger was the power.

I played in a rock and roll band with amplifiers blaring behind me.
Spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours on two-cylinder John Deere
tractors.  Drove hot rods with open exhaust on and off the drag strip.
Spent in the neighborhood of ten thousand hours behind a radial engine
in my cropdusters.  My hearing is okay.

Did someone say something?

ps:  My hearing is actually not all that bad.  I wore good crash helmets
in the cropdusters, or I would likely be deaf.  My ears still rang after
a day of flying, until I went to sleep.  Okay the next morning.
