Indeed, Alex is finding the interference even worse as they approach the tower.

The tower looks similar, though perhaps not quite the same. There are
no windows, but there is a very narrow winding staircase and now that
they are underneath it, they can see what looks like a platform high
above.

Vesper senses the dimensional distortion reach its maximum. Indeed
there seems to be something appearing in the fog, like a small dark
region. For an instant it looks as if something, or perhaps two
somethings, fall out of the darker region on to the platform above
with a distant but distinct "thud". And then, the dimensional
distortion has faded away into the already existing dimensional
oddities of this fog.

The other ATV again opens fire. Most shots miss, but a couple of
rounds hit their ATV with a loud thwack!
