If I could get a sound recording underwater while the wave maker is running I could make it even worse. Best I can describe it is like this: loud mechanical bangs and moans completely surrounding you. Plus due to the way sound propagates underwater you can’t really tell where it’s coming from, makes it really fun.

#84 I Work In A Courthouse At Night. I’ve Been In Every Room Except This One. I Have No Idea What’s In Here
It’s down a back stairway and is at the basement level. it doesn’t seem to attach to the main basement, because its in the other direction. in fact, this door is on the outer wall of the building, which means whatever offshoot behind here was specifically built for its own purpose. its an extension of the building but underground.
a few floors up, there’s an old sign painted on a door that says “to subway”. there has never been a subway here, I think the closest subway to me is more than 3 hours away.
