What Are Those Noises After Take-Off? | Curious Pilot Explains # 3

Have you every wondered what those sounds are coming from the airplane, especially after takeoff? Whether its banging, vibration or simply the sound of the engines stopping? This video will explain what the sounds after take off and beyond are and why they are happening.
If you are a nervous flyer or have a fear of flying this should help to put you a little bit more at ease so you are not worring about what the sounds mean.
If you have any questions or suggestions for future topics let me know down below.

    A small notation: When the engines spool down, it's usually not the sound that's uncomfortable, but the feeling of the plane slowing down. The plane is merely no longer accelerating, but just maintaining a cruising speed and is completely normal.

    A friend of mine is a pilot and he always laughs when I tell him how scared I get. He described the engine spool down as being like joining a motorway in your car, you need to welly it a bit to get up to speed and then ease off to match the speed of the traffic. Also when I was going on about the bumps, he told me to close my eyes and imagine I was riding a dirt bike round a motocross track - it actually worked! When I have to fly - and I avoid it as much as possible - I take a look at a flight tracking app and look at just how many planes are up there at any given moment. It helps.

    I'm an incredibly nervous flyer (so nervous I couldn't take a flight for 5 years to see my parents, finally made it last year!) and I think I'm actually the only nervous flyer who loves hearing the engines spool down. To me it brings the relief of "oh good all the excitement of the take-off and climb is done and now we can just sit back and relax". It's good to get a video like this one, although I'm a very experienced flyer so I'm familiar with most of these, it's nice to have a reference like this one and will be helpful for many flyers. The high pitched dog whining sound was a cool one to learn about, I didn't know that one!

    One key sound you missed out after take off and approach is the flaps retracting / extending. When they retract, you definitely feel a loss of altitude and the engines increase again slightly to compensate. Also when they extended, you can feel the extra drag through the increased vibration. You can also hear the flaps extending on the ground. My house seems to be at that exact point when the flaps extend when planes come to land at Manchester in the South West to NorthEast direction.

    No aircraft loses altitude with flap extension on takeoff. It would generate a Ground Proximity Warning "Don't Sink". There may be a change in thrust however. Some aircraft reduce thrust automatically with flap retraction. This is probably what you are feeling.

    @@ImperrfectStranger You beat me to it. Unless the flight crew are not paying attention (extremely doubtful btw) there will be no altitude loss during flap retraction. The airplane can accelerate with less drag and will continue to climb even with the same thrust setting. The feeling you have in your seat and on your body is the same as in the cockpit. Another reason why, when flying on instruments, you cannot trust your body, you have to trust the instruments completely.

    2:00 - on many airplanes there's also a "jackhammer"/"rumble strips" sound right after liftoff which causes vibration and isn't something you want to feel when you've just taken flight. I've been told that's the sound of the main gear brakes slowing the spinning wheels to a stop before they're retracted into the undercarriage. It was mighty disconcerting the first time I heard/felt this as a kid tho.

The attendants seemed fine… so I realized it must be okay but there was no explanation. It would be really nice if the instructions the attendants give you is also about what to expect that is “normal” instead of everything about crashing. Again, thank you for your channel!

    This is a great video. I am quite fascinated by aircraft and aviation in general, although being a moderately nervous flyer. I was aware that commercial airliners are packed with different electronic and hydraulic systems and that these will produce all sorts of noises, before and during flight, but I wasn't quite sure what were they. I'm really glad you explained the Airbus "barking" sound, as I did actually wonder what was producing it, but I just didn't know how to actually describe it in a search, barking I guess is the most accurate term.

    Every time I hear sound #7, I say out loud so the people around me can hear, "don't worry, they are just tightening the bolts on the airplane." Most people laugh, some get nervous. I'm glad you explained it, I always wondered what it actually was. It does sound like a pneumatic drill though.

    Another thing of note, sometimes atc will place speed and or altitude restrictions on planes especially in class b airspace which surrounds the vast majority of large airports frequented by big passenger airlines. This will sometimes require fairly significant engine power reductions.

  • @beltrams

    Agreed, sometimes in busy airspace, the climb-out can get held at an intermediate altitude, then in order to avoid overspeed, especially at lower altitudes with speed restrictions, the engines have to come back, sometimes somewhat abruptly, only to spool back up when the clearance to a higher altitude eventually comes and the climb resumes.

    Good video for those who don't know these things. Not a commercial pilot myself but a pilot nonetheless, and also a mechanic who has worked on all these kinds of systems on all sorts of airplanes over 40 years. Another thing - if the airplane makes a noise it's not supposed to, the flight crew will have as much concern as anyone else on the plane. And they will almost always get a notification in the cockpit warning panel(s). You gotta trust they know what they're doing!

    Its also worth noting that if you’re sat upfront you’ll hear the engines more than you would sitting behind it, as you’ll only hear the exhaust gas coming from the engine and how its overall louder in cruise than during takeoff as the airspeed makes a big white noise which drowns out the engine sounds. You should also mention how you can hear sounds like the fuel pumps (you used a 737 fuel pump noise as an example when you mentioned hydraulics) and external sounds such as brake fans and apu.

    Interesting I seen a video like this a few years back and I’m a pure nerd on the plane I go through what the pilots are doing on takeoff in my head, thrust to full, V1 - rotate - positive climb - gear up- spool back- retract flaps - set altitude 32k, I’m no pilot but knowing what their doing up their makes it far more enjoyable, good video 👍 something that I’ve noticed is that the airbus engines are far more aggressive when it comes to spooling back then the Boeing and a lot more noise on the initial climb can be uncomfortable for those that don’t like flying.

    Each ding you hear is a different cue to the cabin crew. Different airlines may have more/less dings to signal to their crew when a certain phase of flight has been entered.

    I love these nervous flyer videos! I've found ( not sure if anyone has had similar experience ) as I get older the more nervous I get with flying. The turbulence video and comments were great! I was thinking about what actually scares me... So it's the take off mainly, I don't tend to be nervous when landing, it's not just the noises but it's knowing it's the most dangerous part of the journey, its the movements and juttering of the plane I know the plane is safe yet feeling each bump send my nerves rocketing

    I feel you. I’m awfully terrified of flying not so much landing because it means I can get off of the plane soon. But I as I get older I have developed a profound fear of flying. Maybe it’s because I don’t feel in control? Who knows. Drinking before boarding always helps as it’ll put you to sleep

    I don’t like takeoffs either. Hate them actually. In my teens and 20’s, I used to fly on 5 and 7 passenger planes, in all types of weather conditions. Not a worry at all. Now, I’m hoping for an A380 or 747 on every flight. I think that the older we get, the more we realize we have to lose.

    The older l get the less scared l am. Firstly, the greater part of life is over so there is not much to loose. Secondly, the chance to die in a plane crash is extremly low and if that very unlikely event should happen then l d rather be dead then a cripple like from a car or train accident. Thirdly, l am in peace with all my fellow men and God. So maybe thats the point were those who are scared to fly should work on.

    Does anyone like taking off really? For instance on a plane even during taxi you can hear people talking and maybe laughing but until the seat belt light comes off after taking off the vast majority of people are speaking in a quiet manner or completely silent. Most people are anxious at that stage. I know I am. I be a nervous wreck just willing the plane to keep climbing.
