Noisy airplane flight

[robinessex]

Last weekend, had my first flight on a plane with props. An ATR 72-600 flown by FlyBe, from Southend London airport. Impressed by it's performance, but it was dam noisy. Had seat 5F, right alongside the prop. An app on the mobile phone recorded 90db average noise level, with peak at 112db. The fight was just over 1hr. Personally. I found this to loud. At that sound level, in the engineering industry I worked in, ear defenders would be obligatory. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Love Southend Airport. It's like the airport time forgot. Tucked away in a residential corner of London with a great rail link.

Since when has Southend ON SEA been in London ?......

Er, since Stobbard took it over. This any help ?

I can't wait to find out what the OP thinks of his first flight in a helicopter...

Used to work for Westands, so no suprise there !! Helicopter: A million parts rapidly rotating around an oil leak waiting for metal fatigue to set in!

That's just renaming something, not changing the location.
Presumably "Robinessex" you know a bit about stuff that would like to be in London but really isn't.

The location isn't in question. It's use of the name that I was confirming.
