SOUND
Airplane sound from hundreds of planes are available to download for free, including jets,
trainers, props, seaplanes, fighters, bombers, airliners, attack aircraft, and biplanes.
Most of the airplane sound on this site is around 20 seconds long, 80 KB, 8,000 kHz, 4 bit, mono. We found its the best combination of sound quality for the disk space it takes.
We are within reasonable driving distances of large and small civil airports, plus two aviation museums, one with many flying warbirds that go back to World War II.
One of our members was a WW II Army Air Corps vet who managed to record airplane sound on one of the reel-to-reel tape recorders of the time. We even found some of the airplane sound from phonograph records. Unfortunately, most of the airplane sound from way back lost its fidelity when being transferred from the original media to digital for the computer.
We gather quite a bit of airplane sound at the Chino, California airport where the Planes of Fame Museum is located. They have monthly flying exhibits of vintage aircraft, plus an annual air show.
Some people think that an airshow is a good place to record airplane sound. However, there is usually music, announcers, and the noise of the crowd to consider. Some of our best airplane sound was recorded during the days before an air show, during flying rehearsals.
We still had to contend with the sounds of other aircraft, machinery, and even the occasional barking dog or loudly chirping birds. And, of course, the open spaces of airports can often find the wind blowing between you and the airplane. We try to stay upwind as much as possible, yet position ourselves as close as safely possible to the aircraft.
Airplane sound from loud engines can be good when it drowns out background sounds. However, we have to be careful not to record so that the full power airplane sound overwhelms the rest of the recording.
We have airplane sound of many aircraft that no longer are flying. We have found replica airplane sound from aircraft with similar engines in a number of cases. Sometimes a working engine, out of the airplane will be preserved. There may be a vehicle with the same engine still running, or another airplane that uses the same, or a similar engine. We can come pretty close to duplicating the actual airplane sound from those sources.
Please
email us
if you have any suggestions on how we can improve our airplane sound recordings, or if there is a particular plane you would like to hear that we have missed.
