Hopefully I will never feel nor hear that occurring inflight. Does not sound an enjoyable prospect.

If any pilot is interested it was an approach into Zante which I experienced for the first time the use of speed brake's in flight. However the pilot was using them for about 30 seconds then taking them away again. Waiting a couple of minutes deploying them again, to them stow after about 30 seconds.

Sorry if this lacks terminology.
