    Most of the air crew use headphones, so there is some isolation.

    The cheap ear plugs we were given did not do the job.

    I should have known, and yet was surprised all the same!

    400hz would be nasty, but I guess in the context of an aircraft, engine / prop noise is enough to mask it?

    Another great teardown.

    I have seen some shows on what is inside some of the black boxes, so I was not surprised to see the continuous loop tape.

    FYI, being in a room with 400Hz is incredibly brain numbing.

    This may also be of interest, showing parts of how they are made, impact tested and memory chips being transplanted for recovery.
