Turbine Sound Effects

Turbine sound effects, mostly the kind that hang off a jet. The rising whine as the engine spools up, then the roar on takeoff. Loud stuff. Fighter jets and airliners, recorded on the runway, at air shows, on a carrier deck and from the cabin, plus the whistle while they idle. There's designed thruster work too, for when the aircraft doesn't exist.

A jet turbine sounds different depending on where you stand. Out front it's mostly whistle, the high compressor whine you hear at idle. Behind it, the exhaust roar takes over as the throttle opens, and on fighters the Afterburner piles a ragged rumble on top. The recordings cover idling, taxiing, Takeoff and landing, plus flybys at different speeds and distances, some of them from a carrier deck. Cabin recordings give you the muffled side, the drone a passenger hears. Steam turbines are thinner on the shelf, though the designed machine sets with hissing steam and pistons get close. Editors use these for war films and flight games, and a slowed whistle makes a decent spaceship engine.
