Fake.Laboratories are remarkably dull-sounding. The main noise in our lab is a knackered membrane pump that sounds like a Ukranian tractor derby and occasionally the valve on the rotary evaporator clicking.
Even synchrotrons and neutron sources. All you hear is the air conditioning and occasional forklift reversing.

It's really disappointing.Saying that, they did get a woman with a really nice voice to do the pre-recorded announcements at the Australian Synchrotron.
I mean, there a tube with electrons moving at 95% the speed of light, being bent by massive magnets, releasing massive amounts of radiation as they go and the only noise other than that mentioned above is at 11.00 am: *crackle* "The lunch van is now outside reception."
Although saying that, once every twelve hours there is the phrase "beam injection about to commence", which is the only time it has a mildly interesting air to it.

So you'd think.But it's anything up to five days of sleep deprivation while running millions of dollars' worth of equipment to get a set of wavy lines out.

The huge, domed metal roofis just crying out for a team of ninjas to abseil in. I tried photoshopping it, but I was getting suspicious looks from their psycho security guard for taking photos inside.
