Airplane takeoff recordings have long been a staple of sound libraries because the jet roar is instantly recognisable even without a picture. Creators use this type of clip in travel vlogs, aviation videos, flight simulators and memes about holidays, work trips and leaving home. Its popularity comes from its versatility: the same rising engine noise can signal excitement, escape, a fresh start or simply a change of location. Short, clean takeoff sounds remain useful because they set a scene in seconds and work well layered under music, narration or other effects.
