Okay, the GE-90 at least to me makes no real distinctive sound at least in direct comparison to the hair drier sound of the RR RB211.
If you don't agree with me I'll fight you. It's Saturday night, and my mom says that I can stay out till 1am!
I stand by my opinion.
I've been on several flights with GE-90 powered 777's, plus I've heard the external sound of GE-90 powered 777's during takeoff, and I truly believe that the GE-90 has a distinct and sweet sound. No other engine out there sounds the same. In fact, the video that you posted proves that as well. Of course, to each his own.
Here are a couple of videos to prove my point:

Thanks for posting those two videos.
They're the best I seen/heard that demonstrate this sound you GE freaks are talking about.
As for the "distictive sound" it only seems it can be heard mostly on "power up" then it seems to disipate. Where as the sound of the RB211 or even the V2500 is more of at least a louder and continous humming sound.
Check it. For you Doug!

Lol, I've been de-throned, bro. You'd have to ask my successor coa787. Trust me he'll know!
I bought MS FS 2004 2 yrs ago.
Played it for like 15-20 mins and was bored. It's collecting dust on a self somewhere.
I "owe" him a trans-Atlantic planning chart and I hven't seen him around much since!

I do owe Matt a steak dinner for the bet I lost. Hey Ojo, where's the neartest Waffle House? You can get eggs to order too!
Lol, I don't live in that ghetto of an area anymore. There are no Waffle Houses or Fillabertos near me.
That, or I just haven't sen em yet, lol!

"The Do" oh, you mean my replacement? :crazy: :buck:
Never heard of Amato's. What kinda food do they serve?
Yes, I'm familiar with this type of engine sound as I've flown several times on IAE V2500 powered MD-90's. That's an awesome sound.
The thing is about the GE-90 is that, not only does it sound awesome, but it also sounds smoother and nicer than the RB211 or V2500 during a flight. Of course, like I said, to each his own.
