| Jun 13, 2017 at 18:49 | comment | added | yshavit | Huh, that whine does sound similar to the whistling noise I meant! And it'd make sense, since I don't think that's on every plane either, now that I think of it. That page only mentions it happening on arrival, but there's no reason it wouldn't also happen shortly after takeoff, right? | |

| Jun 13, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | mongo | Inlet fan shockwaves is my guess. Flying with my buddy who flies A320 later this week and can ask him. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 17:37 | comment | added | yshavit | As I commented above, the buzz seems too loud to be from the airframe alone. Do you have any citation for that? I may have mis-described the sound; I looked up a video, and it's the buzz that's at 2:03 here. Seems to be coming from the engine. | |

spell check: "allot" = assignment, "a lot" = a large quantity. English is hard.
