It sounds like "whirr" if you do it right, and "clack clack grunge snap @$@%^!!" if you don't.

You may also want to look at the IGUS bag of materials and contact them about their YES program. IGUS is very generous about donating some excellent materials to teams, so if you see something you like in the KOP and would like more, you should contact IGUS with your ideas.

There is also a powerpoint on lifts and how to build them on the FIRST website somewhere... anyone got the link to that one?
