Quick Question: Cockpit Sound Identification

Featured Replies

Hi. For some days I have been trying to identify a sound I hear only during descent on both the 787 and the 747. Don’t recall it in the 737 or a320, just the big Boeings.

The sound is a four “deong,deong,deong,deong” sound about 1/4 second apart, so quite quick. Seems to happen most during flight phase changes like flaps.  My first guess is trim wheel sound, but I don’t know.  Anyone else?

Thanks,

there's a 4-klaxon sound that happens when you deviate from your selected altitude. Could that be it?

Perhaps. I will research and see if I can find an example to compare.  Thanks!

Eureka!  By Jove Watson, you have solved the puzzle!  That’s the elusive sound.

Thank you.
