The sound of a helicopter is often spelled as "whirr" or "chop-chop" in onomatopoeia.
No, helicopter blades do not break the sound barrier. The tips of the blades can approach the speed of sound, but the entire blade does not exceed the speed of sound.
A flop-flop-slop sound.
No, a Cobra helicopter cannot break the sound barrier. The maximum speed of a Cobra helicopter is around 185-190 mph, which is significantly lower than the speed of sound (about 767 mph at sea level).
you have tinnitus
The main blade on a helicopter is the 'rotor'
Aha. i like what your did there...in her song 'Want U back', at the end of the single, she makes a funny noise by vibrating her lips... like a helicopter flying or taking off. she then says "do i sound like a helicopter?"*If you're speaking technically here, then the answer is no- she does not sound like a helicopter! However, it is about the closest you can get to a helicopter sound from the human lips. Go on, give it a try! It's quite fun.Basically, she says it to be a bit fun, OK? Thanks
She says "does this sound like a helicopter" and then makes a helicopter noise.
You can visit the Sound Board website to hear sounds of helicopters. They have helicopter thwops, taking off sounds, and even sounds of the door being opened while the helicopter is in motion.
"whop, whop, whop, whop."
Q: Why is a helicopter called a "Chopper"? A: I think the names comes from the sound of the blades make: whop-whop or chop-chop. FYI, the helicopters that have the loud popping of the blades are usually a 2-blade of the Bell Helicopter design. The multi-blade helicopters do not have a sound as distinctive as the Bell helicopters. The sound comes from the blade striking the vortex generated by the blade ahead of it.
