On US Navy ships, one of the first indications of a casualty is that ventilation stops, either via loss of electrical power or on purpose to prevent the spread of smoke. I now have an acute response when any fans suddenly turn off.
As an it guy, me too
I'm so used to the noise of cars that I can barely sleep without it, due to my bed standing literally five meters away from the main road as a kid.
Now it's also impossible to sleep without the sound of the fan of my PI rumouring because it's probably dusted inside the mechanism, like the Servers fans. And if I don't hear those HDDs spinning up at 4 am for the nightly backup, sleep can wait.
The eerie feeling of a quiet server room.
