{TrueSound}™ Delta + World Atlantic MD-80 / MD-88 / MD-83 LOUD Takeoff Action at Miami!

Three "Mad Dogs" departing from MIA! Includes a 737 for sound comparison. Which takeoff sounds the best?
In the second Delta clip, you'll see two spotters, Brian (initials BAR) and Mason (MVP), in action! BAR was taking a break and sipping soda while MVP photographed his favorite airline! The World Atlantic Super 80 was filmed on a different day, and it hits 66.80 on our Sound Scale (simply a number, not corresponding to decibels or anything)! A heavy Triple Seven usually hits just over 67.
If you didn't know, the main advantage of our TrueSound system is accurate audio "loudness" and, as a result, comparison of an airplane's sound to another airplane's. The quiet audio stays quiet and the loud audio stays loud; there's no auto-leveling of any kind.
We've been receiving slight opposition to TrueSound... Of course the system has its flaws, such as sound distortion when the audio is "too loud," hits the maximum peaks, and that technical audio stuff. We're not experts! And we're open to any constructive criticism, questions, or comments about TrueSound. The name is simply a brand name to promote our efforts for a valuable plane-spotting experience for viewers with quality sound. It's actually not trademarked, but we can pretend, right? :D

Gotta enjoy the MD80s while they're still here. Heck, enjoy 737's and A320s, because they're the last descendants of the classic "roaring" takeoff sound!

[@ilikerio]

Crazy to think that current 737s and A320s will be "classic" one day. Thanks for commenting!

[@SOUTHENDAVIATION]

The last MD-80 sure did make a nice racket! Awesome video!

[@ilikerio]

Definitely! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@JonathanMLM]

Its like Pratt and Whitney put afterburners in those engines!

[@ilikerio]

Haha! Low-bypass engines always sound great! Thanks for the comment!

[@hamannshaikh7398]

What is a Low By-Pass Engines ? Could u explain me

[@michaelo1929]

You would have loved the 737-200s and 727. They're were so loud, they would shake the ground and set off car alarms!

[@renato113H]

@@hamannshaikh7398 Low bypass ratio motors are motors with a lower fan input than high bypass ratio motors, in addition to other things, I recommend looking for an explanatory video

[@hamannshaikh7398]

Hello @@renato113H Thank you for your explanation. I will try to watch a Brief video on it

[@davidgergenti7782]

Them MD-80s sound like fighter jets for sure wow 😮

[@WinginWolf]

Let's not lie; 737s are still loud. 20 years from now the planes will be so quiet, the MAX will be MIN in terms of sound. Love the mad doggos t-t

[@ilikerio]

It's incredible how far technology has come, but it's also sad to think that airplanes are getting quieter... Even the MD-80 isn't all that loud compared to the original turbojet powered airliners.

[@davidtsw]

Well, it´s only sad for us aviation enthusiasts. But let me tell you something. I used to live near a large international airport in S. America for a while and there were some 727s, old 732s and occasionally MD-80s visiting. When these beasts were taking off and flying over my work, I couldn´t hear myself. I had to stop working. Thankfully, most of the operations there were done with very quiet A320s. So yeah, we do love these old aircraft but I tend to love them more if it´s just 1 a day and I´m sitting at the park chilling and that´s when it takes off.

[@SuperSpotterATL]

The maddog always sounds the best great video!

[@ilikerio]

She sure does! Thanks man!

[@nolantherailfan5048]

I'm permanently deff now because of that extremely loud roar of the engines

[@kaloyantrifonov4132]

Nolan The dab king oh well if that’s real Iam sorry about that

[@canadianplanespotter]

Wow, listen to those dogs bark!! MD-11 was a nice touch too! but the third takeoff had the "truest sound" in my opinion. Long live the McDonnell Douglas family! Placing the Trademark beside the title is a good way to ward off evil copyright offenders ;)

[@ilikerio]

Thanks for taking the time to comment! The third one made the best music, and long live the MD's! Thanks for the tip too, the boogeymen have kept their distance! :D

[@ethansalazar8283]

When you listen with headphones and close your eyes it’s like your there. Great job!

[@ilikerio]

Thank you! Replicating the real experience is what we're all about!

[@tj47racer]

MD-80 my favorite plane.

[@ilikerio]

The Super 80 is quite a piece of engineering! Thanks for commenting!

[@Boeing787Fan31]

Me too. Because of those awesome P&W JT8D's! I have BR-715

[@dc5723]

MD80/MD88 sounds the best!

[@ilikerio]

Long live the Maddog!

[@99carnot]

This is a great video. The MD-11 guest appearance was a nice bonus. I think all 3 Mad Dog "barks" were great, the third possibly the best. Keep up the TrueSound - it is unique, and adds a lot to your videos! Liked!

[@ilikerio]

Thank you very much! We will definitely keep TrueSound going! :D

[@99carnot]

Glad to hear that!

[@ItsCoreyLynxxYall]

I live 40 miles from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport and the sound of Delta's MD-88s is unmistakable as they fly over my house climbing to their cruising altitude. I'll miss them. They're being replaced with Bombardier CSeries.

[@ilikerio]

Amazing how one can hear an MD-80 so clearly, even at cruising altitude. They'll certainly be missed.

[@jcspotter7322]

I go to a horse ranch about 50+ miles north from ATL and can still hear the md 80 takeoff, it's not as loud, but still can hear it

[@xavierhorace7213]

MDs, 727, and the Learjet 24 have badass engines gosh back in the mid to late 90s they would scare the crap out of me but I just love them they sound like jets I always mistaken them for. This was in Colorado Springs I was living in Widefeild. I miss them so much the other airlines are not as fun and unique as the three.. They were so loud and addicting.

[@ilikerio]

Amazing!! Thanks for commenting!

[@hamannshaikh7398]

Sounds like Fighter Jet 😍😍😍

[@ilikerio]

Thanks for commenting!

That 737 was LOUD!! Plus sounds the best

[@ilikerio]

Thanks for commenting!

[@gregorysweeting2512]

Great footage and lovely sounds of those jet engines. To me its music.

[@ilikerio]

We have something special for you guys this Heavy Aircraft Friday! Get ready for some heavy action!!

[@ThatIndianaPlanespotter]

Had my volume all the way up. Now I am nearly deaf lol.

[@ilikerio]

That's the power of the JT8D! Thanks for commenting!

[@nolantherailfan5048]

Nothing is louder than the JT8D engines

[@nolantherailfan5048]

They are louder than my entire class

[@josesantiagoa.6422]

Dad gum!

[@anels9]

Great video, personally never seen an MD but would love to. I have heard some crazy loud 737NGs though

[@ilikerio]

Thank you! Hope you can see one before they're gone!

[@anels9]

Horizon Productions SFL sadly not here in Australia where I am :( On a loud scale, where would you place the md-80?

[@ilikerio]

Aw no! It would probably be a 7 out of 10. It sounds kinda like a fighter, but not nearly as loud.

[@anels9]

Horizon Productions SFL oh wow, that high. And does it have a rumble or crackle to the exhaust noise? And md80s further hush kitted from their normal stage III engines?

[@ilikerio]

They do rumble and crackle a bit! But much less than a fighter. Looks like the MD-80s are not hush kitted.

[@DetroitAreaRailfan]

DOES THAT Thing HAVE AN AFTERBURNER???!??!?!

[@ilikerio]

Sounds close enough! Thanks for watching!

[@josesantiagoa.6422]

Oh My!

[@ilikerio]

Thanks for watching!

[@Duderocks5539]

Would is the loudness scale for let’s say a 727, 737-200, or DC-9? All of course are hush kitted now, but all are still louder then the MD-80. I’m guessing they would be like 70.00 or something? And what would the loudness scale be for a fighter jet? Like 150.00?

[@josesantiagoa.6422]

MD-80 was in Miami!
