Troy=0AMany of us have heard it, that sound has been there since day 1. My 
EZ used to =0Amake a similar sound if I forgot to put the covers on the mai
n spar access hole, =0Ait's probably a cavity resonating, maybe the aileron
 push rod tunnel? Tends to =0Ahappen when the airplane rolls,=0AGraham=0A

 =0ALong ago in the original Europa factory video,  there is a segment wher
e the two =0Afactory planes do a low pass. When they  pull up and bank you 
can hear a =0Awhirring sound or a cry similar to the sound a  bird or somet
hing. I know this =0Amay sound ridiculous but maybe some of you have  heard
 it yourself. I watched a =0Ashort clip of my Europa do a fast low pass las
t  Thursday and heard it coming =0Afrom mine also. You can't detect anythin
g inside  the cockpit that I'm aware of, =0Aand I'm certain I didn't go sup
ersonic. The first  time I flew over my brothers =0Ahome a couple months ag
o his wife later said (with  an unknowing worried look on =0Aher face) that
 she had heard a screaking sound. At  the time I didn't lend much =0Acreeda
nce to her comment. It happened again while  flying over another friends 
=0Ahouse, so now I am curious. Has anyone else  experienced this? Is it com
ing from =0Athe engine? Prop? Somewhere along the  airframe? I don't think 
it's anything to =0Aworry about but I just want to know if  others have hea
rd this.  On all =0Aoccasions, the aircraft was in a banking  climb. It act
ually sounded pretty =0Acool. Just wondering....=0A =0ATroy Maynor=0AMonowh
