The fact that the telescope's cryocooler is acoustically symmetrical such that any vibrations made by each cylinder, and the actual flow of gas, is near-perfectly cancelled out is nothing short of amazing. [0] Real Engineering made a video that covered this and more, which is well worth a watch. [1] [0] link [1] ▶ this video (The Insane Engineering of James Webb Telescope)
For some context around what makes this deployment so remarkable, watch this[0] video that talks about the engineering/building aspects of the James Webb [0] ▶ this video
If you're interested in a more indepth view of how it's supposed to work, Real Engineering did a video about it recently. No idea if what they're saying is true however, I've no knowledge about the domain. ▶ this video
