How can you resist petting your wonderful little woofers?? I've been a technical training developer, trainer and evaluator for over 35 years. Few people understand how difficult it is to simply explain complex subjects to a non-technical audience. You do a magnificent job sir. 5/5. You understand your material and target audience, and consistently maintain your discussions at that level. For those that are not professional trainers; it is VERY difficult to train technical subjects without level jumps and slipping into using technical jargon without explanations. I commend you sir for a great channel with interesting and educational content.

[@mikoto7693]

I don’t get it either. One of the biggest benefits I have from working at an airport is that if my supervisors or managers have been stupid and I’m now cranky, I can just go outside to the pedestrian areas of the airfield and just watch the planes takeoff and land. It isn’t long before I’m soothed back into a good mood.

They typically are at 9500 or so according to FR24 so a bit higher then you mention. I finally identified the Airbus as the noise maker after repeated tracking of individual flights. Had now idea what that noise was.

I'm an aviation enthusiast living near a busy airport, and I can now tell a Boeing apart from an Airbus, just by sound. Thanks. ;)

[@dorisdanielsen3296]

Here's one I heard recently. From the emergency exit door, right at rotation and touch down, a loud whistling sound that rose in pitch, ending with a pop. I thought maybe it had to do with cabin air pressure and a leak in the exit door seal. I told the attendant when I disembarked.

[@MentourPilot]

That’s very likely correct!

[@Eastmarch2]

Ive heard that one before, it whistles higher and higher until it stops, I assumed that it was just the door getting seated with internal pressure until it finally seals.

Oh my friend you’re not crazy. I work in ground handling at my local airport and I always know what kind of aircraft is taking off without looking.

The howling noise from an A320 is COOL. Looks like a jet fighter or at least something powerful

[@revenevan11]

Exactly my thoughts on it, reminds me a bit of the sound of huge capacitors charging up on something like a big pulse laser or a railgun or coilgun! The high pitched sound of that power building gives me goosebumps every time! About a month ago on my commute home from work I had the good luck to pass Cleveland's airport right as a jet (even though the highway is right next to the airport and they fly right over as they land, there are ofc way less flights these days) flew directly over me to land! My windows were down and it made that incredibly powerful noise, so now I know it was an Airbus!

Two years late but if you want to know the insane levels of effort we ground handlers put into helping make the aircraft safe I’m happy to answer or explain.

I even now check my flight radar for it.

Came here to learn about the PTU barking sound, but also was pleasantly surprised to see the sound I hear so often (14:07) explained. I live under one of the final approach paths for MAN about 15nm away, so I hear it pretty much daily, depending on the wind directions.

[@Shadowfax-1980]

On the last point about the high pitched sound that the A320’s vents make, I think it’s similar to the whistle P-51 Mustangs make when they’re doing acrobatics. Apparently, the whistling comes from air moving over the gun ports during certain angles of attack.

I'll give you a story, not sure if its normal or not. Happened on an easyjet a320: we were taxiing towards takeoff, an the lights randomly blinked 2 times...all of them, it just became pitch black for a moment. People looked at each other, noone said anything, I was not really worried as well, as a frequent easyjet flyer I trust them. But that was still an eerie feeling, never seen that happen before or since.

Suggestion on what would probably be several videos (if you haven't covered this already): aside from simply getting off and back to the ground safely, the most important aspect of flight is navigation: Where are you? Where do you want to go? How do you get there? A video or several on navigation would be fantastic.

My Mom grew up in Europe during WWII. She said she could tell if the planes overhead were German or British, as the engines sounded different.

Hello Mentour, great video as usual. One thing that wasn't covered which could worry some nervous flyers is why the engine noise, particularly in front of the engines, changes from a whine or roar into more of a 'Buzzsaw' at high power (such as takeoff and climb). My understanding is that it happens when the fan blades spin supersonic. Is that correct?

I used to fly for work alot in the 90's and 2000's. Most of the flights were MD80's. I always wondered what the sound was during landing from below that sounded like a pump or something. It was like a mediumlow pitch siren sound.

Petter, I have one little issue, as you talked about the PTU. You used an old Hydraulics Chart for the A320, and most people won't even understand, why I'm so triggered. Airbus decided to move NWS from HYD G to HYD Y, to keep it operational, if you need to gravity extend the gear. Seems after all too many A320 had to be towed off the RWYs after such a maneuver to justify a recertification. And you were right, you had one thing in your video, which really surprised me, which actually was the fuel tank pressure valves and the blowing over a bottle whistle-effect. Great video, good work, and for not having a type rating on an A320 really well prepared and explained.

[@bassmechanic237]

I love the bark of the A320s blue line electric hydraulic pump to ptu unit. Nothing to worry about, and If you bark right back at it, it will stop. The barking is usually due to moving flaps, slats and the baggage hold doors being open or closed. Those doors are hydraulically open and shut.

[@jonntischnabel]

I always thought the barking sound was the pilot testing the rudder. Oh well, you learn something new every day! I also live in the approach path of Manchester, and I like the howling sound, didn't realise it was only the a320 until today. 🙂

[@aviationonthefly7632]

Hey Mentour Pilot, great video! I'm sure you're too busy to read all comments but thought I'd mention there's another distinctive sound that the Airbus A320 family makes and it happens in that clip at 14:00, and at the same time as the other sound you're talking about. It's that sort of 'howling, whoosh' sound that decreases in pitch momentarily, and often you'll hear it go back up again eventually. I'm pretty sure that is the sound of the speed brakes being applied to control the airspeed while descending, it's only heard while the aircraft is in decent. It's a very distinctive sound. I've also been on an A320 and seen the speed brakes applied in flight and it made that exact sound. The more speed brake applied, the deeper the sound. Of course, I could be wrong but I'm almost certain that is what it is. I'm sure you're already aware of this sound and what it is. But I was fascinated by your explanation of that high pitched whining, whistling sort of sound that's also very distinctive to the A320 family, I never quite knew what it was until now. I've heard these sounds for many years while growing up near one of the Heathrow stacking points and have always loved them. Also, love the little captions from the dog with the Airbus 'barking' sounds. Thanks for the fascinating content!

Stephanie It’s awful sitting through a plane journey when you can’t relax because you don’t know if something is wrong. I’ve found that watching videos of pilots explaining various noises and movements( especially turbulence) has taken much of my fear away.

I'm pretty sure it's the doppler. First the aircraft is approaching you, the tone is higher. Then it flies by, the distance doesn't change much, the tone is natural. Then it's receding, the tone is lowered. Aircrafts are fast, so doppler effect is strong.

In Hamburg, Germany, you can hear that sound often when an Airbus does a touch and go at Hamburg airport after a test/delivery flight and then climbs again over the city before returning to the airbus site (XFW)

actually, I misunderstood the question, I was referring to the sound that lasts through the whole clip, up to 14:17. I don't have any hypothesis for the short sound..

I used to be a highly-nervous flyer and was frightened when I heard that noise. I managed to fix myself and happy to say that I'm not afraid of flying at all now. Interesting to know what the noise was now!

I am a bit of a nervous flyer, so your videos are really great for me to understand what is going on! I used to be really afraid of flying when I was a kid (afraid of heights combined with travel sickness), but once I got on a 'testflight' for firsttime flyers it has been a lot better. (Little cityhopper going from Amsterdam to Zurich and back). Yeah sure, I still get nauseous when hit with bad turbulence and if I am not able to see an horizon when the plane takes a turn... but at least I can sit back and be comfortable most of the time.

I’ve learned from living under the flight path into Stansted that A320s whistle, 747s screech demonically, and bigger planes sound deeper in general (idk if all this is true, it’s just what I hear)
