What are your favorite audio experinces as experinced from onboard an airplane and outside?
For me, there is something about the sound of the flap drive motor on the classic series 737's (300/400/500) that sounds really cool. It's kind of a mechanical high pitched wine. The other thing I absolutely loved sitting there and waiting for the gear to come down on the CRJ-100/200... I always got a big laugh at the expense of those who seldom get to fly on them. The loud "BANG" as the pumps kick in and start forcing the gear down.
From the outside.... My absolute favorite thing is to sit on the beach in the summer when JFK is departing the 22's or 13's and listen to the buzz saw sound of 767's, A330's and 747's as they climb ever so shallow out over Long Beach for parts far away. It's like my zen.
