For what it’s worth. I had two I think they’re called something like Osprey planes fly over head. They are the prop driven planes that can rotate the propellers up and fly like a helicopter. What surprised me was how quiet hey were. When I was a kid in the 50’s. Friends and I watched numerous military planes fly into Luke AFB. They were all very loud especially the twin engine fighter I believe was named P-38. The turbo powered planes are much quieter.
