Rushing noise on ground under aircraft on short final.
Mrs JC and I in West Yorkshire on anniversary weekend. Having been visiting Otley, a favourite of ours, we’ve been walking on The Chevin. On return leg of walk, we were directly under (looking up, between the left engine and the wingtip) of a 737 on about 1 1/2 final (edit: for Leeds-Bradford runway 14.) As it touched down, (we could see the runway from our vantage point.) we heard a ‘whooshing’ noise just above us. The aircraft had long passed and it was different from the airflow noise from a glider or throttled-back light aircraft. I assume we were actually hearing the wake vortexes. Any thoughts on this? Am I correct?

Reason: Geographical ineptitude. In West, not North Yorkshire!
