Interestingly, when you listen to a takeoff without much of a derate, the “buzz” from the Trent reduces noticeably approaching rated power as the air around the tips (now supersonic) forms a kind of sound attenuating/reflecting layer. When the power reduces at acceleration altitude, the buzzing returns.
