What does the bridge ( control cart) look like in a graf zeppelin (airship) ?

You’re fairly close with the description of the bridge. There’s a photo of the R101 bridge on the first link, albeit a small one (switch on your pop up blocker). The second link has airship memorabilia including passenger cabin and galley photos. The accomodation is pretty cramped looking, but people would be travelling for the experience, not comfort. The third and fourth links are cutaways of the Graf Zeppelin gondola and a modern airship gondola respectively for comparison. As for the noises, it’s well documented that modern airships are quieter and suffer from less vibration than the pre-1940 airships, but I haven’t found any mention of the noise/vibration levels for the older generation. One thing I didn’t realise until I visited the fifth link was that the Hindenburg (which famously exploded spectacularly in 1937, killing 35 passengers) was designed to operate filled with non-combustable helium, but operated filled with hydrogen due to reticence of suppliers to provide the Nazis
