There is a repeated note (or sound effect) in the song which has a pitch which sweeps through 7200 Hz. In fact, it is reminiscent of a kind of sound that can occasionally emanate from a failing drive which spins at that rate. I wonder if they got the "5400 RPM" detail wrong?



I don't think the rotational speed of the drive is that relevant; the resonance that was being excited is certainly different as otherwise the drive would've excited it via its own rotation.


We don't actually know that this phenomenon is due to resonance.
