FAIL.
It's 65 Hz of course (3900 rpm), so it would be a *deep* loud hum.
Still no "dakka dakka" though ;)

"Muzzle velocity [of the GAU-8] when firing Armor-Piercing Incendiary rounds is
3,250 feet per second (990 m/s), almost the same as the substantially lighter
M61 Vulcan's 20 mm round"
But the rounds might carry more of that "tracing stuff", so that the trail may
be brighter.
