| contents | Astrophysical black holes are open systems which, when perturbed, radiate quasi-normal modes (QNMs) to infinity. By contrast, laboratory analogues are necessarily finite-sized, presenting a potential obstacle to exciting QNMs in experiments. We explore how the QNM spectrum of a toy-model black hole changes when enclosed by a partially reflecting wall with adjustable reflectivity. Our results reveal a continuous connection between the QNM spectra of open and finite-sized systems. Additionally, we demonstrate that QNMs in this setup are easily excited by incoherent background noise. This work opens new avenues for studying QNMs of black holes and compact objects in laboratory settings, where finite-size effects and noise are unavoidable. |
