Troy,
Airbus wings do the same thing compared to the Boeing wing. Always tell,
without looking, whether it is an Airbus flying overhead by the noise of
the wings. My children can tell me!!
Maybe Mr Dykins got it "perfect" after all. Just a thought in my
jetlagged state, back from Perth flying all night!!

Subject: Europa-List: Europa Sounds in Flight
Hi All,
Long ago in the original Europa factory video, there is a segment
where the two factory planes do a low pass. When they pull up and bank
you can hear a whirring sound or a cry similar to the sound a bird or
something. I know this may sound ridiculous but maybe some of you have
heard it yourself. I watched a short clip of my Europa do a fast low
pass last Thursday and heard it coming from mine also. You can't detect
anything inside the cockpit that I'm aware of, and I'm certain I didn't
go supersonic. The first time I flew over my brothers home a couple
months ago his wife later said (with an unknowing worried look on her
face) that she had heard a screaking sound. At the time I didn't lend
much creedance to her comment. It happened again while flying over
another friends house, so now I am curious. Has anyone else experienced
this? Is it coming from the engine? Prop? Somewhere along the airframe?
I don't think it's anything to worry about but I just want to know if
others have heard this. On all occasions, the aircraft was in a banking
climb. It actually sounded pretty cool. Just wondering....
