Those 146's are my daily soundtrack at Southampton. One of the departures takes them right over my flat on the high street, and I usually get woken up by the 0640 to Malaga (when it isn't late!).
My work at the college also sees them whining overhead on their way in and out as well. It's amazing how you can get used to the sound and know exactly where they are. It starts with a gentle 'zing' when they're approaching, then changes to a harmonic 'mwahhhhh' when they're overhead and finally ends in a throaty whistle. I think they're great.
