So we were just leaving Mexico City on a Delta 757... soon after takeoff the flaps were brought in and they made the usual whirring sound... but then that sound continued through the rest of the flight.
It sounded to me as though the mechanism was still trying to bring the flaps in (even though the manouvre had completed).
What was also strange was that the pitch of the sounds also seemed to alter with each gust of wind that would be heard as we were taking off.
Is this anything to be concerned about? Should I have told the cabin crew? Or is this totally normal?
I would have thought that after the flaps be brought in, that the sound would have ceased.
It only stopped when the flaps were extended for landing!
