A320 PTU Goes Crazy until it gets tired

Taken on Dec 27, 2019 on Mactan-Cebu International Airport

[@SMD-ir5jb]

This is a rare example of an excited A320. Nearby airbuses make an A320 happy, which causes them to bark like this. However this unique call is often confused with that of an unhappy A320. When boeings are nearby, A320s get agitated and make a deeper more angry bark, in an attempt to try to intimidate nearby boeings. A320s are truly fascinating.

@Julian V #roadto100k some A320s prefer to be quiet, so they aren’t spotted by boeings

Ex-US MD here, non-pilot. What’s PTU? Is it causing that sound like sawing wood (it really does remind me of sawing)? I thought the sound was from trailing-edge flaps extending and withdrawing by pilot control. Thank you, Dr. J

Im just an avgeek so take my answer with a grain of salt, but im pretty sure the ptu is related to the hydraulics

This is the reason why I don't like Airbus aircraft. You'll never hear a Boeing aircraft make that annoying noise. But, to be fair, I recently flew on an American Airlines A321 XLR and was impressed with the overhead baggage storage capacity of that aircraft.

[@TheQatinChannel]

the only reason i LOVE the 320 is the ptu sound

[@RyanZ225_PC]

*Advice:* Don’t sit in between the wings. The main gear bay is located there and thats where the PTU is located therefore the PTU can be heard around that location. The sound itself also doesn’t travel far at all, you won’t be able to hear it if your seat is far behind the wings or in front of the engines. Not just for the PTU, but for sounds in general. You’ll hear the hydraulics and fuel pumps and that noisy engine whine (especially on A320ceos) if you sit at in between the wings, so not a recommended spot to sit if you don’t like sounds, but keep in mind if you sit in front of the engines, you’ll hear the sound of the engines which are notoriously loud on the A320ceos but not so much on the neos. TL;DR: You won’t hear the PTU if you’re sitting far from the middle of the plane, but you’ll hear more engine noise at the front if you don’t like that so consider sitting away from the middle of the plane if you’re flying on A319/A320/A321s. Also, you definitely flew on an A321neo or A321lr, the XLR is not operating for airlines yet, it only just completed its first ever flight testing last week as of the time I wrote this comment.
