here's what it sounds like in the engine room...VERY quiet compared to the engine room of the ship i was on. the 16 cylinder Alco diesel locomotive engines that powered our ship were only 2500 hp, and maxxed out at 1000 RPM with an idle of 300 RPM. we had to increase 100 RPM at a time, and hold it there to let the oil pressure drop before going up another stage in the revs.
