Here's a brief video about one of my favourite sound to catch while watching airplanes landing: the wake turbulence 'howl'. Some weeks ago I attended an event with a brief flight demo part done by some aircraft of the Italian Air Force. After the show I managed to record the landing of these two Panavia PA-200 Tornadoes and never I imagined hearing that mysterious noise on a fighter jet.

That sound is coming from those invisible vortices you can spot on the left wing, created by the flaps, and which get closer to the ground in their turbulent motion. Wake turbulence always forms behind an aircraft as it moves through the air but it gets more... turbulent and hazardous in the takeoff or landing phases as the airplane operates at a high angle of attack.

Even if any airplane produce wake vortices, from my Youtube experience (aka hours and hours spend watching videos made by other videmakers XD) I've always thought the actual noise was mainly audible on commercial airliners, perhaps due to their mass and bigger wings, producing stronger voices which lose strength later and managed to reach the ground (and so the observer) before dissolving. But I hope someone will give a better and more scientific explanation than mine in the comment section...

You can hear it at 0:29 and 1:01
