Post subject:  'Screaming' sound - any idea what it is?
This might seem an odd thing, but when I have airport ambience enabled, a minute or so after I start taxiing I get a high-pitched 'screaming' sound start up - actually two sounds which slightly phase with each other (which makes it even worse). It is very loud - I can't imagine what it is supposed to be. It sounds rather like the sort of 'screeching' sound you get when a train slowly pulls into a terminus, the wheels scraping along the rails as it turns corners.

I am assuming it comes from FDC, as I never heard it before I installed the programme this week. Well, I turned off airport ambience for my last flight and it didn't happen, but maybe someone recognises what I am talking about - I could then remove the wave file (or replace it with a silent dummy wav file). I haven't located a 'culprit' though playing through the ambience files one by one....

Thanks,

Martin

If it's airport ambience it maybe it could be anything.... perhaps an aircraft touching down

Hi Martin,

think this is the culprit : AIRPLANE_JET_727_EXT_TAXIN1 and take a look at the other AIRPLANE_JET_.... wav files :

they are "loud and long" :mrgreen:

Hi, thanks for the suggestions, but the jet sounds do all sound like airport noises. The 'screeching' I am talking about doesn't sound like airport ambience at all, it really is like two heavy pieces of metal being forcefully scraped past each other (ear-splitting) - I'll have to see if I can record it somehow..

It's "jet_taxi_6_large.wav". Piercing!

Two Questions:
1. How long have you been playing FSX?

2. Where is your wife?
