Mmm well if it was it was making a right racket ! Flies over often and never sounded like that and it was at 26k feet !
Maybe they were rushing to the pub
I live on the flight path to Hawarden (Airbus broughton) where the Beluga lands 2 or 3 times a day. Maybe they were rushing to the pub
Flys directly over my house at about 1500ft.
Yes you can hear it, but wouldnt say its loud really.

Hello wizards!
On the "what was that" front.
A big military (?) plane with four propellor engines (maybe) and a long probe at the front flew over the A14 just west of Cambridge about 10.40 yesterday. (18th February)
It was neither descending or ascending....just flying very very low!
Probably a RAF A400M Atlas.On the "what was that" front.

Sound is a strange thing.
An aeroplane barely noticeable to most, can be painfully loud if you are stood at the focus point of reflecting walls. I remember a painfully loud four-engined turboprop trundling over at highish altitude when I was hanging out the washing once. I had tall walls on to my right and behind me, with a lower wall to my left. I posted a query on an aviation website with the time and direction, to be told that it was a US Navy C-130B transiting from Northern Ireland to France or Italy, I can't remember which. Old C-130s were loud, but not usually that bad.

Always had a keen interest in aviation so when something sounds different I'm usually outside trying to identify it. Agree about the C130's pretty easy to ID.An aeroplane barely noticeable to most, can be painfully loud if you are stood at the focus point of reflecting walls.

Not seen one for a bit now but AN-24's were a regular overfly and they were very noisy used to make the letterbox vibrate.
