Nice one :-)
The total amount of noise from a Ham-x will depend more than anything on
the way the operator uses it. A single sequence of "click... whir...
click" is nothing to object to, even if it's repeated every few minutes.
But if someone has the habit of repeatedly jiggling the controller to
drop the brake wedge into *exactly* the best notch, that is sure to
create an irritating clatter.
The problem also increases if someone is doing all this on a quiet
summer evening or at night, when sound tends to carry and people are
more sensitive to it.
