Lots and lots of noise, but far more palatable than the screech of an ART-13 dynamotor.

And it's hardly the same as a steam locomotive, though the shaking of the house is sorta like what happens when a railroad runs thru the front yard as was the case where I grew up.

Try riding in the cab of a steam locomotive some time (there are places where you can do this) and then tell me it's "the same."  I think not.

(I do love steam locomotives.) 

Now if you REALLY want radio noise, try the 28vdc-115v 400 cy AC inverter from an ARN-7... hardly a joyful noise, and as I have opined here before, it is the love child of a Whelen Fire Truck Siren and a Hoover Industrial Vacuum Cleaner, GUARANTEED to clear the house of every living entity.
