I love when people start speculating about how it might have sounded from the cockpit to fire 8 brownings... (although I tend to do it myself)
Unless you've done it, you can't possibly know.
Yes, now it's quieter. and pretty high pitch. Then again, sitting in a cockpit of a warbird with a 1000 HP Merlin growling in front of you at 3,000 RPM...that kills pretty much every frequency and I wouldn't be surprised if only the higher frequencies came through. Then again, I might be wrong. We can only be sure of the rate of fire and it sounds correct.
The only reference I've read about it is that it sounded like "tearing calico" - that means 1) high rate of fire 2) high pitch - at least those are the conclusions I've jumped to.
All in all, I have no idea wether the sonud we have is correct or not, but it's not implausible (give nmy limited knowledge and experience)
