During start the V2500 has a buzz saw like sound as the blade tips go near supersonic. I'm guessing the fan spins faster in this than the CFM cos it doesn't make the same sound. Start on the V2500 is a long affair (not the A5) to gently wind up the donk due to rotor bow issues. They somehow sorted it for the A5 but I don't know how.
