aircraft noise
Overhead engine rumble
Aircraft noise is the sound produced by airplanes and helicopters, especially during takeoff and landing.
The term typically appears in discussions of airport regulations, environmental impact, and community complaints: New flight paths were designed to reduce aircraft noise over residential areas.
Aircraft noise complaints have increased since the runway expansion.
