Strange sound: constant background metal twitter

Your best bet would be to contact Just Flight support. I don't think any of the forum members are going to be able to help with this. It doesn't seem to affect every user.

Tapi

@derek I finally posted a ticket to JustFlight support.

Every journey starts with a single step.

From JF support: I have passed this onto the sound developer for the Arrow/ Turbo Arrow and I will let you know when I hear back from them.
Unfortunately at this time, I can't say how long this may take.

Well, to tell the truth that sound drives me nuts :-/ It is not very loud but once one notices it then it is a very very annoying "feature" of otherwise excellent aircraft.

Apparently, the same (or very similar) sound problem was reported with P3D version of the Arrow and Warrior:

BTW: I have just bought classic non-turbo Arrow III too because I hoped that the "crrrrr" sound is somewhat related only to Turboprop version but nope. The sound is here too :/

Different sound teams on the P3D aircraft, so, whatever it is, straddles two different development studios. Of course, there may be some commonality on the recordings but odd that both teams reproduced this thing.

If it was experienced by all users it would be an easy fix, I think.

Tapi

@derek Well, I think the sound is here for everyone, but not everyone hear it. IMHO it may depends on HW but mostly on "ears sensitivity". As human beings we are not the same.

Would be help if anyone capable of audio editing manage to amplify the "crrrrr" sound so that it stand out more clearly or shift if more to foreground.

BTW: do you hear the "crrrr" sound from the YT vid I linked in the first post? I do. But the vid is not mine. But true in the sim the sound is much more prominent, in the vid it is barely noticeable.

Derek

@tapi

see what the devs come back with.

As you wrote earlier:

Well, I have just tested the sound from the vid (see link in the first post) on a low-end PC with a low-end headset and do not hear this sound.

Same ears, different kit...

Tapi

Very good news from developers (info arrived today on my ticket). I am very glad JF managed to found the source of the problem:

Our sound developer has investigated this and believes he has found the source of the sound.
The fix should be included in the next update for the Arrow/ Turbo Arrow/ Warrior.
Unfortunately at this time, I cannot give you a firm time frame on when to expect the update,

Tell me if you hear it in this video

I think I hear what you're talking about. It is a "screeeee" sound which comes and goes. Do you hear it in this vid?

Tapi

@mace_rb Hi, yes I can clearly hear it in that vid. Though directly in the game it is a little bit more prominent. I guess uploading vid to YT reduces the clarity of the sound a bit.
