I never thought it would sound like an orca. Then again, I've always liked engines whirr as the plane precipitates and ascend into the air.

[@Joseph-xj4ex]

Yeah, me too. It's a shame.

[@tomtalker2000]

One of if not THE QUIETEST regional aircraft out there. Look for these Airbus A220's to take over the market in the near future. LEAPS and BOUNDS ahead of any 737 MAX BY FAR.

[@matthewlippe8644]

The A220 is not a Max competitor

[@WinginWolf]

It ain’t no regional either :P

[@cloverhal2284]

I see what you did there

[@camgrant2264]

Not a regional flew on one from Boston to phoenix

[@stumps51]

this and the PTU sounds are my favorite

[@Raypep]

I was on the A220 yesterday for the first time (I normally fly southwest w/ the B737's) and when I heard that noise I thought something was wrong. Haha.The cabin though is significantly quieter than the B737... and the windows in the A220, fantastic.

[@theresaconnor2135]

Wow it really does sound like an Orca.

[@3rdyplayz]

If you're wondering what causes the orca/whale sound. Well, I have no idea what causes it.
Jk it's just the change of airflow in the combustion chamber when throttling up. Also, the engine stays in idle when you're hearing the orca/whale sound.

[@patrickspies1464]

Omg it does

[@jeffjensen27]

You can Barely Even 😱🤔☝️🥰👍Hear The Engines.

[@nyc1164]

That orca sound isn't from the engine. It's from the brakes. I've heard this sound before after my plane landed.

[@shaunganley]

That's the engine at work again, reverse thrust, to slow the plane down. Clearly, we're not using brakes here to take-off.

[@nyc1164]

@@shaunganley - No, I'm certain it was the brakes. I heard that sound after the plane slowed down and about to enter the taxiway. If it was the engines, then all planes with that same design engines would all make the same sound all the time.

[@SMD-ir5jb]

@@nyc1164 breaks sometimes howl, but this sound us from the engine, A220s are known to make this sound

[@JOSHVO97]

Is no one going to point out the fact that this was like the slowest take off on RUclips? 😂

[@WinginWolf]

The heck is an OCRA :P ?

[@Petor59]

Ya, sounds like an Orca, lovely whale song, probably singing watch me! :)

[@aviation_nyx]

What’s an “ocra”

[@IanHorsford]

V1……rotate!!!!

[@dalecooper9942]

An Ocra

[@MrMaenambeach]

Canadian technology.

[@Joseph-xj4ex]

Part of the flying experience is hearing the loud engines.

[@austinjames9366]

I always love the buzz of a engine during take off. this shit boring as hell 😭😂

[@tonycasella9335]

Is that normal 🤣
