The engine sounds from within the cockpit when starting them up, or shutting them down, are disproportionately loud and inconsistent (like a distorted booming bass rising and falling).

The volume of them is otherwise ok, tested having made no adjustments during the initial din!

Hi,

You can adjust the volumes in the EFB to your liking.

Thanks!

That was my point - the experience I had was the volume was normal after starting and in flight, but extremely loud/bassy/pulsing when starting them up and turning them off. Definitely not something I can effect in the volume controls.

Thanks for the clarification. Will note and pass to the team for further investigation!

I love the current engine start-up and shut down sound of the A380 , its really music to the ears , please do not reduce the sound of this , if its too loud , perhaps a slider to control the booming bass of start-up and engine shut down that pulsates but that should be all , don't reduce the sound or it will be ruined.

I clearly experience different and buggy sound levels - there is a general increase in volume (as there should be) and then it's like a bleedin' rave in the cockpit, like you've turned up your headphones to beyond maximum - so it booms and distorts horrendously, throbbing up and back down again a few times. It then returns back to normal once the engines either stabilise or they finish being turned off. I want to hear their beautiful sounds, trust me I do, but not in the manner that I have been currently experiencing!

**No slider adjustment helps, for clarification.

Hi,

Have you tried using the built in "noise cancelling headphone" option in the EFB?

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!
