Which Noise Signature ?
There are many different Noise Signatures that Helicopters make when approaching straight and level - steep turning - etc.be it from Main or Tail Rotors 2 -3 - 4 - or multi bladed types.
Would anyone agree that the MD 500 has one of the best making you feel great to be hands on with, or might it be the SA 341 ?
Some might say they could tell from the noise it made as to who was flying it !

The old Huey....Bell 205.....is the Iconic Sound Machine of our time!
High speed, nose tucked, and a hard bank turn with max power applied....and the Old Darling Talks to you!
One such routine.....at Duxford Heli-Tech rattled Wine Glasses off Tables!
Top that with your Whistling Pig! (Gazelle).

Them original AS365's made a sound on lift-off like a bearing was about to fail - sure made you look up and get as far away as possible
Who cannot like the sound of a flat whoop, whoop, whoop from way out in the distance gradually getting louder and louder and turning into a deeper whoop, whoop, whoop sound on arrival.

Sounds about right. We used to note the time when you could hear a Bell 2 blade medium offshore.
Depending on the weather conditions on average between 20 - 25 miles!!

Redhill Tower used to hear us coming in the Huey somewhere around Woking.....as we were the only 204/205/212 flying in the UK at the time....there was no hiding who we were.....or where.
