At closer inspection, the silver semicircle at the back of the room contains a microphone rig rather than a wormhole leading to other planets, and the instrument pointing at it is an enormously high-pressured air jet, not a teleporter. Computers in the adjoining office can create 3D soundscapes of the noise recorded inside the chamber. The £500,000 facility is one of a suite of testing labs built at the university's Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) in an effort to create quieter aircraft. It was created when Rolls-Royce asked the team to explore a potential noise issue regarding one specific valve on a particular turbo fan engine, explains Prof Jeremy Astley, director of the ISVR. The valve's job was to blast extremely hot air out of the the engine. "In previous engines there were other noise sources so we hadn't noticed this one," he said. "In noise control when you bring
