Capt Claret; If you pilots would extended the flaps at the correct speed the aerodynamic noise would be much reduced. Flaps up at Vfto, flaps out at min manoeuvre speed.

Certification does not consider this type of noise.

BAe did fly prototype modifications to reduce the noise, but the wedge shaped fairings under the wing weighed 60 kg - nearly 1 pax in payload.
