I hate this sound! In Split sisters (Amorella, Isabella etc..) same sounds can also been heard in passenger cabins on deck 6. Impossible to sleep there.

@gregordiesel In one word.... leaks.
Its like painting the forth bridge - it never ends. you fix one leak, another appears.

If you are an oil sheik = good news - you'll find oil wells everywhere.
If you are in oil retail buisness = good news - you'll break all-time-high-record-sale at your office and can retire next week with a great bonus
If you are an engineer and have to work with these engines = born loser
Seriously - These engines are user-hostile with severe leak problems. Unreliable and with a moody attitude. Have you ever anything positive about a thing which have the label "made in France"?
