Testing the world's longest echo

Technically, the Inchindown oil tanks in Invergordon, Scotland, have the world's longest reverberation, but that makes a much worse title. We tested them with a loud noise and some very sensitive microphones.

[@Darthybuddy]

As a person in choir. That would suck for the choir. There is a happy middle ground between no reverb (think singing outside in a field) and too much (singing in a room like this). If you get too much reverb, anything fancy you try to do vocally will just be drowned out by reverb from earlier. Too little reverb and chords don’t sound right and it’s tough to stay in tune because you can’t hear the complete sound bouncing back at you.

[@MGSLurmey]

I don't think the smell is the problem you need to worry about. Any source of ignition is what you need to worry about. There's no ventilation, no easy escape and a lot of easily flammable and hard to extinguish oil everywhere.

[@mukrifachri]

Depends on the fuel oil stored -most fuel oils actually don't combust easily, if you dip a flame into it it'd extinguish the flame. Kind of the same with some jet engine fuel. But once it's been sprayed it'll combust very easily (and so it is *still* dangerous.)

We would yell a few words towards the mountain, then wait ... a long time. (I was just a kid, but as I remember it, it was maybe 10 or 20 seconds.)
