Yes, the 1403 was very loud. The pitch of the noise varied with the
sequence of characters being printed. Some IBM hacker (yes, they
existed) came up with a deck of cards that, when printed, played
"Anchors Aweigh" on the 1403. IBM field service wasn't very keen on
this hack because it put a lot of wear-and-tear on the print train.
I couldn't find "Anchors Aweigh" but I did find "La
Marseillaise":
