So that was actually the mp3 sfx for a Portal Turret going "whyyyyy? (http://shimmie.shishnet.org/v2/post/view/1976)"

So I redid it as you said and instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jmty_NiaXc

----------------------------------------

It was disorienting, to say the least, standing in Nemeis' strike zone. Time warped around him, making things mirror and repeat in odd ways. It looked normal enough, and if he'd only been concerned with his person, it would have only felt wrong rather than nauseating. But this was a fight, and Obi-Wan had opened his perceptions to the Force.

The world bent around him as he waited for the machine to strike. Even the Force bent with it, giving uneasy flickers of aborted prescience until...

There!

Obi-Wan moved, dodging deftly sideways and igniting his lightsaber. It came alive, blue and crackling with the characteristic hiss. The low hum was a terrible comfort even in that desperate moment between sense and reaction. Strike! Strike now! His instinct was screaming at him and Kenobi followed it blindly digging a deep molten furrow in the chestplate of an enemy he could only sense by luck and trust in the Force. Time unwound around the wound as Nemesis lost focus, snapping back into place with a nearly audible elasticity.

Obi-Wan changed forms, sweeping his blade low and open into the beginning stance of Makashi. It wasn't his preferred style, but he needed the reaction distance. Needed time to think. Did machines pant? The machine that watched him from across the dueling field didn't seem to as he finished examining his scarred exterior and turned frightening red eyes back to the task at hand. There was a sound of air, faintly, like fans through cooling vents, but Obi-Wan couldn't dwell on it; he was holding himself still, like a tuning fork waiting to be struck.

Man versus machine again.

"Come on, then."

I MAINTAIN THAT THE 'WHYYYYYY' COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO THIS PROMPT

though it is quite excellent already and to answer your question headcanon has them whirring a lot of air through vents to cool down their systems, kinda like when your computer towers goes VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

No yeah, I think the vent thing is maybe canon of some kind because all the other transformers rpers seem to do that too?

BUT OBI-WAN WOULDN'T KNOW THAT. His experiences with droids are like. Dudes like C3PO and astromech droids and then Grievous who's always like "REALLY LOUD WHEEZING ALL THE DAMN TIME"

I was writing it and I totally forgot about the "whyyyy" because when I write fight scenes I just go with things and forget the point.
