Well ... as a former USN high speed code operator, I've always been someone
who appreciates ambient and environmental noise levels.  Reading this string
of notes re noise as a result of driving our wheeled boxes up and down
roads, I'm wondering if someone could figure out how much noise an iceberg
pushing air and water out of the way at 70 knots would make, and how to
reduce those noise levels.
