As far as I know, this is not true. What is true is that the Trino Vercellese nuclear power station in Italy had acoustic transducers (basically microphones) mounted at several important points in the primary circuit, with the sound being piped to speakers in the control room, and after a few months the operators found that they could infer the state of the plant more quickly and reliably from that sound than from the instruments and gages. It makes the sound effects in STAR TREK (1966) suddenly seem a lot more reasonable.

tip: web requests should not be measured in Hz [hertz] as that is only used for periodic frequencies, which random events (like requests hitting a web server) are not! -
