If you've ever seen a bomb you will notice that there are tail-fins. There are two purposes to these fins.

  1. To make the bomb fall where it is intended to go. Hitting a target with a bomb is a hard thing to do and a lot of technology goes into making a bomb the right shape to 'fall straight.'
  2. These tail-fins are also modified to make the screaming sound as they fall; to add a dimension of terror to a bombing raid.

Does a falling bomb actually make a noise as in the whistle that you hear in movies when bombs fall and if so are there measures so it does make a noise on purpose?

speaking from experience from ww2 Southampton bombing raids; bombs traveling at or above the velocity of sound; make a screaming, or whistling sound. The better you hear them; the more certainty it is not falling on you. The one that hits you you will not hear; for it gets there before its sound. ----
