[Geysers] Loud Steam Phases

[Paul Strasser]

Splendid's rare steam phases in the period 73-78 could be heard at the lower
gas station.

In assembling a list of geysers that have loud steam phases, I have wondered
how far the sound of the steam phase carries.

Previous posts on this list, together with literature sources, indicate that
Steamboat is plainly audible at the Norris Campground (1.2 miles away), and
that Giantess has been plainly audible at Riverside Geyser (0.9 miles away).
Similar figures can be obtained for other geysers.  However, I cannot find
data for the following geysers:

Bijou
Catfish
Atomizer
Fantail
Whistle
Clepsydra (back vent)
Ledge
Dark Cavern
Africa
Union

I ask if anyone has data, or can remember, how far away the steam phase of
any one or several of the above geysers should be plainly audible?

Thank you,
