And on that note... another annoyance to me (especially have just
watched a TNG episode) is the constant background "engine" rumble. Not
only does it not make sense for non-mechanical engines to make such a
sound (sounds more like a four-engine jetliner), but you'd think in an
ultra-advanced starship like that, they'd have come up with slightly
better sound deadening that didn't leave ambient engine noise at a level
that makes conversation difficult almost anywhere on the ship. Can you
imagine the long-term hearing damage caused by a constant low-frequency
rumble at that level???


My company is in the process of moving and one option we are pricing out
is a sound deadening system. They are amazing. Walk into a busy office
and its quiet. Turn the system off and all the background noise assaults
you.

Man, I could use one of those, particularly one that takes out yapping
dogs and teenagers hanging out under trees.
