Why Do Planes Scream?

a scene which has played out in countless films: an aircraft loses control and snaps into a fatal nosedive. As it plummets earthward, falling faster and faster, the air fills with a sickening drone, growing louder and more high-pitched until it becomes a shrill banshee wail. This shriek reaches its ear-splitting crescendo just as the plane slams into the ground with an almighty bang, throwing up a roiling column of orange flame and black smoke. So much of a trope is this scene that you can be forgiven for thinking that this is a sound actual aircraft make when they dive or crash. But alas, once again Hollywood has lied to you - shocking, I know. For while the drone of a diving aircraft’s propeller or jet engine may get louder and more high-pitched as it accelerates and approaches the ground, and the air rushing over the airframe may produce a low whistling sound, outside of the sounds the passengers are probably making inside as the plane plummets, almost no aircraft will produce the classic movie shriek… So why, then, does Hollywood – and, by extension, we - think that all aircraft sound this way? Well, it’s all thanks to one infamous aircraft that actually did make this noise. So let’s dive into it, shall we?
