Hidden Mickeys? Ha! He's got nothing on hidden noises!
Get this! I found out this peice of Imagineering magic all on my own without the aid of any reference books or websites. I can only speak on behalf of the Tower of Terror in Anaheim, and not the one in Florida. (I wouldn't be surprised if my discovery is in both parks.)
If you are sent to the library on the left that would lead you to the second story of the boiler room then you will have to keep your ears open. Once you get to the top of the stairs on the boiler room start listening really closely to the odd sounds creaking through the room. Once you reach the part of the catwalk closest to the wall (the last corner before you hit the "supervisor's desk" with the out of service pressure meter sitting on top) listen extra carefully. I was leaning up against this wall waiting for the line to start moving again when I swear on my life I was imagining I was hearing things.
Upon asking one of the CMs I discovered I wasn't imaging hearing things coming through the vents and pipes above my head along the wall.
Before I post what I specifically was hearing I just want to double check with other people to see if they heard it too. If you heard what I'm referring to don't say exactly what it is, just mention you heard it too. Besides, if I say what it is too soon it might spoil it for those who want to investigate the situation out on their own next time they visit DCA (or WDW).
I just find this hidden noise as fun and exciting as the last thing you hear when your ride ends is the loud clanking noise in the rear left corner of the elevator shaft.
