Which engine sounds the best? Spool-Up and Take-Off Compilation

Do you have a preferred engine sound? This small compilation features some of my favourite take-offs from various airports. Go ahead and judge yourself which one is the best!

[@Dan-nt2yb]

I’m 58 and still get a buzz during takeoff. Who doesn’t love the roar of those monsters?✈️👍🏾👍🏾

[@Mike5890Aviation]

The Buzz sound is produced when the fan blades hit supersonic speeds, producing that buzz sound, The Rolls Royce RB211's buzz sound is very distinctive. All though they are a rare sight these days.

[@IlluminaEpicly69]

Im 10, and its music to my ears.

[@nanospace2389]

I love it and the way it pushes u back in your seat

[@rixxy9204]

I detest takeoffs. For me it's one of the most dangerous parts of the flights imho, even worse than landings. The stress on the plane and engines is at max, yet there's no time and often not much runway to let you make any wrong decisions. For me it's 100% pilot judgement at this point, and that concerns me a lot because humans make mistakes.

[@NWA744]

Nothing will ever beat the scream of 4 GE CF6-80s on a 747.

[@wsx2000lol]

the scream of the CF6-80's it's just a vacuum cleaner moan compared to the roar of the older CF6-50C/C2 change my mind

Who doesn't love a Rolls Royce Trent when you hear it after the plane takes off? (say you live in a town near an airport and you catch it after it takes off) The sound of it coming closer just gives me goosebumps and i love it (Especially the A330),

[@bbinchi]

Thank you for posting this great video compilation! I appreciate your efforts and your generosity. I believe you saved the best for last: RR Trent 556-61, whose sound I love, especially during spool-up. I confess, though, that my favorite remains the Rolls-Royce RB211-524G/H that powered BA's 747-436 and 767-336 aircraft. It makes glorious music. Alas, those engines are no longer available for us to hear from inside an airplane. Thank you again for your excellent compilation!
