IMO, the V-22 makes more of a growling/ rumbling sound than a roar.

Plenty of fast movers along the Gulf Coast between what’s stationed at NAS Pensacola and Tyndall AFB.

Just watched the attached video, and the crappy surveillance video is inconclusive. The side by side video isn’t much better especially since the V-22 sounds different in vertical mode than it does in horizontal flight.

When I was stationedat Plattsburgh AFB, they would engine check the KC-135 tankers. These aircraft would use water injection to boost thrust. Loudest thing you ever heard. Sometimes, to troublshoot problems, they would have them running full power for literally hours.

Anyway, that’s what this noise sounds like.

But this wasn’t fast moving. I’ve lived on the coast all my life. The airport authority at Herlbert Field said it was one osprey that took off but that they didn’t know which direction it went. That whole story is bs. Then the news station decided to listen to different planes on YouTube and they decided what it was. What kind of crap is that?

Plus, how were people in Florida and Mississippi hearing this loud roar at the same time for about the same length of time? I’m sorry but something doesn’t pass the smell test on this.
