>>the implication is that it could be a bedroom the size of Cardington Airship hangers!!!<<
Exactly, I have no idea how wide or how tall Shagbark's bedroom is that's why I said 'probably'

Oh I thought you meant it had been invented after 1968.

Although I believe airships do produce that type of sound, if I recall from old news footage of the Hindenberg and R101 in flight, taken from the gondola.
But that can't be, as it isn't an instrument (see post 43)

actually it is a rather small room. three metres wide, four meters long, and two metres high.

No, I do not6 live in a Tardis. Those are internal dimensions.

Using a non-standard derived unit of Shagbark's Bedroom (Sb) - how many Sb's do you think we could stack one on top of the other until you could stand on the top-most one and peer over the top of the thing making the noise?

It's not a blimp or an airship or gondola.

shagbark Posted Feb 18, 2011
I am guessing it would be over 40 Sbs
QI - "Perfection lay within, or I am already here?"
Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Posted Feb 18, 2011
Lower.

I'm not sure, as I don't know from what axis point you are using. For example, this object could be on top of a mountain, or it could be at ground level, and come in various sizes. I say this as I'm starting to head towards Hawaii as a location where many are situated. Along with an American desert, to name two. Each differing sizes!

QI - "Perfection lay within, or I am already here?"
Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Posted Feb 18, 2011
still lower.

I feel like Abraham bargaining over Sodom.
Perchance if it is only 10 Sbs

Is this thing actually wind-driven, or is it just the fact that it is outdoors making us think that?
