A deafening noise

A block of uranium?

Details:

You are in a small room - 10' x 10', with no windows, doors, or any way out.
In one case there is a big block of uranium in the room - about the size of a basketball, emitting radiation (as uranium tends to do.) In the other case, there is a deafening sound like a jet plane taking off 10 feet away, continuing constantly.
This is the first scenario with a time limit: 12 solid hours in either room.

Comments: Well, this was a hard one. I have ample knowledge of jet screaming engine noises and the like, but I'm crippled in my understanding of the implications of Uranium poisoningnoisesif I donme because I. So, ignorance being bliss and all (and I KNOW I don't enjoy loud ) I chose the lesser known of the two evils. It's much easier to think nothing is hurting you when it's invisible, right? SO 't believe the uranium is hurting me, then it won't...There's no way I could pretend that the airplane noise wasn't hurting 'm aware of it's effects...Spoken like a true American, eh?

Choice: Noise
Comments: I'm used to loud noises, due to the unusually loud nature of my being; therefore, the noise wouldn't really bother me and I would just be bored for 12 hours. The uranium would tend to cause a long lasting problem for me. :)

Name: John "Cleophus" Taylor
Choice: Uranium
Comments: Well seeing as how I have my radiation suit ready I think that the obvious choice would be the deafening noise, j/k. Anyway with all of this Y2K b.s. I could prolly just break into my neighbors houses and find a radiation suit, it probably wouldn't take looking in more than 3 houses. But then that would be wrong of me to expose the to all of that radiation being released when the "millenium" is coming.
