Re: Vineys Poinless Poll: Tunnels
Round; sound reverberates better
 Went through a square tunnel y'day, didnt make as much beautiful V-twin "vrooom!" as a curvy tunnel (curveys again far better!)Matt |

Re: Vineys Poinless Poll: Tunnels
Lewes tunnel, not only round but corrugated to bounce all the sound back
Cheers Mark.

Re: Vineys Poinless Poll: Tunnels
I don't know the reason for the acoustics of it, but I find round tunnels "boom" more, whereas square ones sort of rasp (almost as if you're going over gravel). Both sounds are nice, but I prefer round ones (both sonically and aesthetically).

Re: Vineys Poinless Poll: Tunnels
Never come across a square one - why would anyone try to dig a square tunnel?

Re: Vineys Poinless Poll: Tunnels
The side tunnels into and out of Heathrow are quite nice. Made for cars and small vans so are quite small.....
