What would you call the sound helicopters make?

Question

I need to be as descriptive as possible for this short story I'm writing, so I need someone to tell me the name of the sound helicopters make. THANKS!

Answer 1

drone?

Answer 2

The choppy drone of the blades slicing through the air. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

wooka or if its a chinook a wooka wooka

Answer 4

ECH-ECH-ECH, repeated noises that are loud like the wind against your ears really hard for about 1 second repeatedly. That or when you clear your throat. If that doesn't help, you can probably go on youtube, a video website and look up 'helicopter' in the toolbar of youtube.

Answer 5

ch ch ch ch ch ch cH cH CH CH CH CH CH Ch Ch ch ch ch

I think that's why they are called "choppers".

That's why they call them choppers

Answer 7

Onomatopoeia would be something like "chu chu chu chu", I think... if you're just going for a descriptive term, maybe a "perforated whirr"? I just made that up, but it's kind of a cool phrase.

Answer 8

thumping of the rotors

Answer 9

Woosh, woosh, woosh.

Answer 10

A great boom of wind came toward me with a forward thrust.
