Takeoff – Cabin Ambience

General Ambience Series

In-cabin audio recorded during takeoff on a Cebu Pacific Airbus A321 from Manila to Tagbilaran. Captures the characteristic “whale noise” produced by the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G geared turbofan engines—an acoustic resonance occurring during low-power settings such as taxiing, takeoff, and landing. This is a normal engine behavior caused by unstable flame patterns at low-power fuel-air mixtures, not a mechanical fault. Perfect for aviation projects, flight simulators, short films, animations, object shows, or any project needing realistic airplane sound.

I have heard something like this several times (0:23) from the same aircraft that entered the landing glide path at different times. It sounds more creepy from the outside.
