J41: What's the ticking sound when avionics are on?

Featured Replies

One of the cockpit noises is a constant ticking sound when avionics are on. What is this?

I would like to know too. It gets very annoying after a while.It seems to get louder and louder and louder. lol!glen

Well, based on some other planes I've worked on, it sounds like an avionics fan but I'm sure someone with more JS41 knowledge knows.

It sounds like the BDHI's on our H-60's. This has digital screens for the heading/course and all that so I don't know what would be making the ticking noise. Would have to be some kind of analog gauge though. Doesn't bother me cause I am used to it I suppose.

I believe it's the vibrator for the stand-by altimeter. It keeps the altimeter from sticking on climbs and descents (I think).

Correct. If you don't like it, edit the wav file to silence, but do note that this sound is realistic and is present in the real cockpit.

Hi ryan! Without removing the sound is there a way to tone it down a little?thanks, Glen

Is it the same ticking sound thats on the B744? If it is, that would explain why the B744F doesnt have it...

By the way, I found the "no one gets through" thing on the cabin door. Very amusing.

You'd have the reduce the volume of the sound inside the file using a wav editor such as Audacity.

Hello,As a general question, is there a way to reduce all cabin sounds because FSX sliders do not have any effect to the overall volume and sound is too loud.Regards.
