Recording 18 aircraft takeoff sound effects at Changi Airport

While traveling around the world, I always make it my mission to record as many aircraft take-offs and landings as possible! One of my favorite places to capture these sounds at Singapore’s Changi Airport. Over 1000 aircraft departures and arrivals every day!

In this sound library, you will hear sounds from the massive Airbus A380 (tracks 3, 6, &18!) Not only the engine sound is deeper and longer it also has four of them. This is already a big difference compared to other airplanes. A small aircraft don’t need the full airfield to take off but these big guys need the full runway to get airborne!

One evening, I went with a friend and recorded sound at two different locations. One next to the ocean and the other directly behind the airfield. The first location is considered a secret spot and only locals would know how to get there.

In this sound library you will hear…

Location One: If you listen closely to the audio you can hear the calming ocean sounds before and after the aircraft. Another incredible sound is of the airplane is already up in the air.

Location Two: You can hear vehicles like cars and trucks driving by from behind before the aircraft takes off. Another typical night sound appears in the recordings… cicadas in the distance.

In total, there are 18 different aircraft takeoff sound effects including the biggest airplanes in the world. Airbus 380, Boeing 747, Airbus 350, Boeing 787, and several small Airbus 320 from Air Asia or Jetstar.

Check out my airport category or aircraft category and you will find many more airport sounds or in-flight sound effects. I hope you can find the sound you are looking for.
