Question

How would you say the following sentences please?

The person said "distinctively" shouldn't it be distinctly?

It makes a distinctively:distictly different noise than if it was broken.

Can requirements be followed by "to"?
There are no requirements to do this in a clean room according to me.

I've never heard cut into profit, does it mean anything and is it natural?
If people find out they could get it done for less, it could cut into your profit.

Thanks

AnonymousIt makes a distinctively:distictly different noise than if it was broken.

The noise is distinctively different from what it would make if it were/was broken.

To my ear it's okay. It's something like "uniquely different."
"Distinctly different" means "clearly different."
I think they both work.

AnonymousCan requirements be followed by "to"?There are no requirements to do this in a clean room according to me.

Yes. You are not required to do this in a clean room.

"Requirement" is like "law." There is no law to slow down in an intersection. (Granted, it's not the best of style.)

Anonymous it could cut into your profit.

This is common. It may be considered an idiom.
It means something could cut away part of your profit -- like cutting into a cake.
