Yessir that's they way they start.

I have had much fun stating: "Please put your seats and tray tables in the up and locked position. The captain says we are cleared for takeoff." Just before the fans light off. In the best one the guy who had to shadow us in the DC heard me but didn't get it. When the fans lit up he started wandering the DC looking for 'that noise'. When he finally figure out it was the Power8 he connected what I said and 'got the joke'!

just in case.

Fired it back up and it reminded me how it sounds when it starts up. Like
a slow crescendo to a very loud harmonic howl of some very fast fans...
then after a few minutes quiets down, with a slow decrescendo to a whisper
(much quieter than my old 515).

Is that what these things should sound like when starting up? :) Probably
a stupid question, but I have to ask.
