    What a soothing sound. Almost sounds like it is out of a sci-fi flick/game. It is deep and uniform, unlike other engine growls which are harsh and aggressive. Of course I like both, but boy this is a sound I could go to sleep to.

    • @R3VStudios
      @R3VStudios Před 8 lety

      Amount of passengers probably. Usually big planes fly far, but small planes don't have the capacity to transport as many passengers.

  • @yenzelllopez-sjucoquispott2468

    At the end of the video, you can witness that the plane starts to lose its takeoff sound once it gets to cruising altitude. With this you can prove that planes only make noise when taking off and not in the whole flight away. In other words, airplanes nowadays don’t have to be made silent

      The smaller A340s that have an equivalent sized A330 almost seem pointless but then again I like them because of the engines. This video kind of sounds like a RB211.

    • @jteamaz
      @jteamaz Před 9 lety +3

      Julio Romeresto
      That's actually not correct ... the engine size on the A330 is much larger. These smaller CFM56 engines are only rated at about 31,000 to 34,000 lbs. of thrust. The Rolls Royce 700 on the A330 is rated at 71,100 lbs. of thrust. The big joke about the A340-300 model is that it was said to be powered by 4 hair dryers .... :)

    • @Darkton80
      @Darkton80 Před 9 lety

      Julio Romeresto Combine two A340-300 engines, and you get 68,000 lbs of thrust.
      Combine one A330-300 engines, and you get 72,000 lbs of thrust.
