Any of you guys drive CRJ-900's?
If so, and you don't mind me asking, are they always so noisy? I don't mean the engine noise, the landing gear 'bang' or even the ear-melting announcements. I mean that during ascent they make various and regular creaks and what can only be described as cracks/bangs...
I fly as a passenger around 100 times a year and recently my regular airline is employing them for cross North Sea trips. I'm not really a nervous flyer, but last time I personally witnessed noises like this was with Viscounts back in the late 80's and they were all grounded due to cracks being found in that non-essential spar that holds the wings on!
As I usually sit over the wings in the Em Exit seats for legroom, perhaps it's not really apparent elsewhere in the aircraft. The banging seems to come from under the floor, not the exit windows and doesn't sound like freight/baggage settling.
Starting to make me nervous, and I 'know' that's a bit silly but that Viscount experience changed me >thoughts of folded wings - shudder!<
Cheers!
