Ventus doesn't hear it. He sees everyone's heads jerk up involuntarily/in surprise and look toward the Gauntlet, but he cannot sense why that might have occurred. He still senses only the same powers as when the forcefield first came down.

Valder doesn't quite make it through the door before this happens, though he finds that his immense strength is enough to open it alone.

The researcher in question eyes narrow practically into slits as the scene played out, knowing he was missing crucial details as Shiva, Nathan etc. interacted with the Guantlet, but believing it absolutely bode nothing but ill for his friends. Never the less, they didn't seem to be 'excessivley' and/or 'overly' affected by that THING, so Ventus just closed his eyes and let out a displeased/uneasy grunt as he marshaled his iron Will and wrangled his fears/paranioa back tightly under control, putting away his rebar but still having Apsis Pokeball in hand. No matter how freaked out or distrustful of everything connected to Antheneum, he couldn't always be wired and fraught with tension while exploring the mystical place or interacting with the group, no matter how much it gave him the hebe jebes....

After he was done with that, he followed straight after Valder and into Antheneum proper, give a WIDE berth around The Gauntlet as he did. He didn't want to be in its presence any longer than the bare minimum, and all he just wanted to do at this point was get into the library, safeguard it against the Scimitars, and then get out. The pursuit of long lost secrets Knowledge or valuable tech/loot was far from his mind , and if they ever were in it they've been thoroughly stamped out by this point.
