I've worked on both GE's and RR turbofans. GE-CF6-50's on the A320 airbus and RR-RB211-535E's on the B-757-200. Both were excellent engines. From a sound perspective though, I prefer the roar of the RR engines especially running on the ground full power adjusting the fuel control! Standing on the sides of those beasts running full power with the cowls open is something I'll never forget. Concrete vibrating under your feet while 42 thousand lbs of thrust fly out the back 4ft from your face....priceless! ;)
An a320 with CF-6s? Bull
@@michaelkozik4707 Im guessing he likely meant A330s or he lying
@@michaelkozik4707 I think they had CFM and IAE Engines
Fantasist
I think you either misspelled CFM-56 as CF-6 or you misspelled A330 as A320
General Electric because that’s the brand of my microwave
Damn it haha
Bruh lmaooo
Wait General Electric makes microwaves
Sean Basran dishwashers, washing machines refrigerators, etc
Rolls Royce because that is my toy car
The RR Engine has such an amazing sound, but I think that the GE engine is much more comfortable, especially for those long routes that the 787 is used
RR Trent engines are perfect on a B777-2H6(ER) or an Airbus A380. GE sorry but I hate to say it. 4.8/10 it makes whining noises but RR Trents make roar noises which is better.
@@imcgzin l
@@justanaturalcarguy4031 the roaring noise isn't necessary because the 787 needed a quiet cabin, that's why genx is Quiet and efficient and the most popular engine choice for airlines who wanted to operate the 787
The he engines are louder, the seating arrangement made. Huge difference that’s why it sounds quieter
@@piggyjain8720 I've sat in the same seat as the guy in the RR part of the video. GEnx is definitely quieter on takeoff.
The GE engine sounds like a flying carpet！
absolute serenity
GE makes it seem easy.
they dont always tho, sometimes they get an annoying howl
1:33 i think that scream translates to rotate
No its Rotaté
@@justmiko9461 oh lol
Omg you are to funny lmaooooooo
Soviet Union Nahh rotatéy
@@justmiko9461 groundpound69
The two engines actually sound quite similar. I think the difference in this video had more to do with the seating arrangement. The footage of the Trent 1000 was taken from in front of the intake. The footage of the GE was taken practically right beside the engine cowling, which insulates a lot of the characteristic sound.
Funny you should say that, as the sound coming from the front of the engine at cruising speed would hit really close to the position of the camera in the GEnX video. In fact, at sonic speed, it would make the RR engine silent. The advantage in this video is to the Rolls Royce, as far as a quieter microphone position goes, when at cruising speed.
Think of it. Sound leaves the front of the engine. That same sound then hits air at around 400 to 500mph. This diffracts the sound travel to more straight sideways the faster the engine goes up until the speed of sound. Above the speed of sound, the sound is actually behind the engine.
The point being that right beside the intake face of the engine at cruising speed will still be loud. There is also the sound transmitted through the skin of the airplane to the passengers. On the 787 they use LESS sound deadening than they do on other planes due specifically to the GEnX engine, so if the second plane is a 787, you have to consider it is also experiencing that lower noise with a lower level of sound deadening.
@@exploranatorit still makes sound from front buddy
I've flown in planes with each of these engine manufacturers and each has it's own distinctive sounds. They are both incredible feats of engineering.
By far they re certainly feats of engineering indeed
I love them both, in fact i just love jet engines! I think they're the most BRILLIANT piece of technology EVER! 👍💪👏❤
Three cheers for Frank Whittle.
@@davidk3729 and Hans von Ohain
This is an unfair comparison. The RR video was filmed in front of the engine and with a DSLR. The GE was filmed on the side of the engine with a GoPro which has pretty crappy audio quality compared to a DSLR. I flew the MAX and used my GoPro to film the takeoff, and I regret it as the sound was so crappy you couldnt appreciate the sound like you could on DSLR.
NickFlightX allol
but GoPro has more clarity than DSLR in this video bro
NJR 10 look at the title, its a sound comparison. A DSLR audio is massively better than gopro audio. Video makes no difference
thats correct bro
Thats not the point, we are trying to compare sound not video quality :)
Don’t really care, as long as i can still hear em’ at 30,000 feet, I’m happy ! 😆
Well played.
I'm with you! They sound like angelic harps specially in the long haul....
You are damn right.
Wrong. Planes go higher
Andy Martin clearly the best answer.
The roar on the Trents is unbeatable.
The RR logo itself is giving me goosebumps. So iconic, so strong!
Same here it makes me shake from head to toe!
Rolls Royce is my favorite airplane engine manufacture
@@Ormodius3751 tout comme moi 🔥
Audio was not the same and sit position was not the same to give an accurate answer.
It was close and accurate enough to give any novice the chance to tell the difference between them.
Agree. That wasn’t fair.
My thoughts exactly.
would have been more plausible if the actual comparison was from same window seats on same type aircraft.
Avatar was click bait.
Not impressed.
Yes you are correct Mr. David Morgan
@@bandfromtheband9445 yeah. They are probably just salty GE is quieter
Not a 100% fair comparison, both videos should be filmed from more or less the same location
RR cause is not american

It's like a free video with a real-life comparison isn't enough...

I never thought I would ever diss a Rolls engine, but, the GE was a soothing buzz, right into bliss.
The rolls royce sounds like a early 2000's f1 car

@@dukke888 I still like the sound of F1, the V6T has a characteristic and very loud sound personally

Having flown on dreamliners with both engines About a dozen times i can honestly say they are just as loud. But i notice that if you sit “on” or behind the wing it is extremely quiet and if you sit in front of the “air intake” it is very loud on both engines. My favorite sounding of the engines is the Trent 1000 TEN by far.
The GE engine is definitely what I would prefer, they're a bit more efficient aswell, like on the 777. Much more quieter, which I'm sure many people would enjoy on long flights.
it also is more reliable
Obviously the Rolls royce engine sound is music to my ears
Yeah, thats because GEnx, the recordings wasn't accurate. It was recorded with a GoPro with a different size, not even close to the engine...
@@AtinzMizuki still even when they are in the same spot RR is better for me
I just love the hum of the rolls Royce
Houston Crawford Amen bro
It is a wonderful "buzzing" sound. Enough to make me sleepy and eventually, fall asleep on the 11 hour flights to Europe from San Francisco every year.
i love the British and the Rolls Royce Engine, which fought in the battle of Britian as the Spitfire Fighter. BEAT THE GERMAN METZERSHIMT
I wonder what the efficiency of the GEnx is with its forward sloping cowling compared to others that attached level and plumb, I'm sure they save on fuel costs!
Beutifula
I personally don't care how loud the engines are so long as they do their job and don't give me a massive migraine. Aside from that, I find the sound of both engines pleasing to listen to. Not sure if I'm weird for liking the sound of air plane engines or not.
You're not weird!
Bloody Requiem it’s like white noise
Airplane engines have he best noise!
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! 😂
@TOSS9 I wouldn't be alive to describe the sound to you while i am standing in front of a jet engine at TO/GA rpm.
I like the General electric Engine more
I like the mellow sound of the GE engine . Also, I retired from GE after 35 years and now enjoy a very nice pension. Keep selling those GE engines.
I would love to get into sales over ge engines.
@@fedism in Seattle ?
Too many variables at play here. A purist might like the RR 'sound' of the engine revving and almost 'lawnmower' like quality on its turn. The GenX is quiet enough to put a baby to sleep. But again...too many variables at play here, such as camera position, payload(the RR seemed to have a heavier payload as made evidently clear by the longer takeoff).But...if you want engine noise...give me a Tupolev and let'er rip full throttle!! Haha! Still, these videos are like a symphony for me...thx!
yup and #2 was muffled right after the start of spool up so no way to tell anything from this. :(
The GE sounded like a vacuum cleaner running in another room. The RR sounded like a high speed diesel engine. They both sounded like jets, but you cant describe a jet as sounded like a "jet".
Can you link or upload a Tupolev? Where did you find your example?
If you really want engine noise listen to the GE J-79's on a F-4 Phantom ll.
Ernie Martinez - standing in the starboard catwalk forward of the JBDs, an F-4 with afterburners lit, waiting for the cat shot.
GE is quiet
yea GE wins. Sorry RR.
not a very fair comparison. c'mon sitting evenly with engines during take off are the most quiet take off for any aircraft with engines mounted on the wings as vs sitting in front of it and even louder if you are way in the back of the aircraft.
It's because they have a different shape the GE has the bites on the end to make it quieter
Yeah right
GE is better. RR has this screaming high pitched sound. The GE has a more low frequency rumbling which is not so annoying

@宋健熙 you do realize that china cause a corona virus pandemic 2 times, first its sars-cov but now is covid-19
And the spanish flu many speculate it came from china, they name the flu "spanish flu" because spanish was the first country to report the flu
I just love the sound. It gets my heart pumping
GE is smoothy, RR is beast😂
No!!
I have flown on both engines
The GE is far quiter and less vibration as I always sit over the wing when I fly
Also with boeing having all the issues with the Trent 1000 engine with the fan blades cracking and corroding I'm with GE all the way
cracking and corroding jesus
yeah because ge using carbon fiber fan blades while rr still using the metal
I'm not sure how RR Trent1000 fan blades are built but from my own experience hydroforming and breakforming titanium flat pattern parts you have to underlay or overlay annealed titanium sheet with stainless steel sheet metal when you form it or it simply cracks. If you try to bend it with the bend radius too small it cracks. Sometimes if you don't polish the edges it cracks. In addition annealed titanium has to be kept very cold (deep freeze or dry ice) in order to maintain the annealed condition. If you let it get too warm before forming it it hardens and cracks. I guess what I'm getting at is the fact that titanium is very easy to crack.
And RR puts all their apples on that hollow combed titanium fan blade assembly, too.
I like RR
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!

Literally nobody in this Universum:
My Ps4:
Fuck off get grammar lessons lmfao smh
GEnx, not surprising, as of early 2018, the 1277 Boeing 787 Dreamliners on order, a higher percentage are choosing the GEnx engine instead of the RR.
@Phantomschmerz Agree, GE engines are cheaper than RR, the fact that Trent 1k has had a lot of issues lately and airlines wasted their money on equipping Trent 1k rather than equipping GEnx
Qantas recently ordered 787-9's as of late 2017, made a great choice on equipping GEnx while Air New Zealand instead equipped Trent 1k
Garbage both. Pratt & Whitney JT3D power, sound and a lot of smoke.
@@sakapole Thing may change if Pratt & Whitney perfect their 2:1 geared high bypass turbofan engine. Nothing like it has ever been successfully done. They may be the first to make this a success.
@Micah Lall-Trail turbojets are still used on fighter aircraft. Also turbojets would be inefficient and costly to be put on an airliner such as a 787
I would choose the GE not because of the sound, but because their engines don’t fail in mid air...
Pinnacle Level Design LDC yeah, that’s why almost every 787 with the RR Trent 1000 is being recalled.
Pinnacle Level Design LDC there are almost 400 engine affected, I’m not talking about all of their engines, I’m talking about these ones.

2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SEATING POSITIONS SO THE ENGINE SPOOLUP WILL SOUND DIFFERENT. AGREE, NOT A FAIR COMPARISON.
@@alantaylor929 deez balls
My neck, my back...
Their seating position still puts them “ahead of the sound.” And having flown on both engines from seat 1A I can say I didn’t even realize the GE engine was on as we rolled down the runway. My first 787 with GEs I had to look out the window to make sure my cabin crew wasn’t secretly pushing the plane. Then after about 8 of those quiet engine trips my first RR 787 I had to find solace from the cabin crew that the engine noise was normal despite setting off my heart rate alert on my Apple Watch.
GEnx sounds awesome! Definitely my favorite.
ur mom sounds awesome! definately my favorite.
As an observer: The rumble of a Trent 1K on a green engine run is just badass. If it sounds like the world is coming to an end, it's a RR on its first engine run. Other than that: GE all DAY LONG!
Surprised at how quiet and smooth GE is...great job !!
Wow! I had just the opposite experience. Rolls Royce Trent series are silky smooth. The GE-90 series scream "Let's get our asses in the AIR, RIGHT NOW! However, I always welcome a different opinion and would like to hear more about what you have experienced during take-off.
🤣🤣🤣
Different places on the plane. If you at the side of ot you dont get that bigger noise. Dont you fly much. We do.... a lot all over the world.
See my reply. It's somewhere on this here page....
The GE was filmed on the side of the engine with a GoPro which has pretty crappy audio quality ,
The RR video was filmed in front of the engine and with a DSLR, its a unfair comparison
Great comparison.
The Trent 1000 sounds like a blender or a jet ski. 😅😅😅
The GEnx: Set condition ultra quiet like a submarine. 👌🏽👌🏽
Awesome video mate!
Thanks you, glad you like it!!
I prefer GE by a long shot . Nicer and quiter !
regolo gellini you are cool grand dad
But rolls royce has excelent sound
Huawei Y5 the best engine
And more reliable
I always prefer outside audio of the 787's GE engines takeoff. I love the high speed sound of the engines. Beautiful! It's like an electric drill.
This might have been a good comparison IF you had done both from the same vantage point. The engines are considerably quieter from the side, no matter the manufacturer or model.
I thought the same
GE. All the way. Nothing better. Boeing & GE. The very best.
Airbus >>> Boeing
Dont forget Pratt & Whitney!
Airbus rules. Rolls great too, but they need to make quality tip top
D B name one accident that was caused by the airbus’ cockpit design and not human error.
@gxm Spot in there.. A stick is just dumb
I vote for the Rolls Royce Trent engine as it was louder and liked the whirr and wail. But was impressed with how smooth and quiet the GEnx was. Regardless nothing beats take off...
yea trent has buzzsaw sound
EPIC E Flat for the first plane!! It sounds like an A350!! That dude was having a sneeze attack in the background sneezing 5 times 🤣🤣
At first I thought I didn't like the Rolls-Royce because I thought I started hearing compressor stalls at about 2:20 in the video. But then I watched it again, and it was just somebody sneezing. Both are magnificent!
I never heard a 787 video that could compete with the 777 for engine noise, whether Trent 800, GE90, or PW. I've not been aboard a 787- but I can vouch for the 777, what a beast on takeoff.
Compared to the old 707 and DC-8 both sound quite civilized.
I'm kind of partial to the old JT3D....
GE: peaceful. RR: anguish
The engines are both so amazing 👏 😍
Why not both? I’ll have GE on the left and RR on the right of my 787 please
GE is so smooth and whispering. wow!
Superlover i Agee I flew in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the genx engines were whisper quiet
They are. Both awsome just incredible
Potrei guardare video del genere per ore😍
Well I think we know how this match up turned out.
GE = Reliable
Sorry, GE reliable? Ha.......
Rvssian Boi the fact that ANA stop using RR engines in their new 787 orders because RR engines have tons of problems
Sehr lecker Maulwurfkuchen the A380 uses both engines from Rolls Royce and GE so if you knew which engine it was that failed we could find out which is more reliable

0:50 this is definitely my favorite. The sound is woooooooow
I like both 787 engines! I love the roar on the Trent 1000, but you can’t beat the how quiet the GEnx is, it is much more comfortable on a 13 or 7 hour flight. These are my favorite engines by far.

The GE is so quiet
That is mostly because of the position of where he is sitting. The wing blocks off quite a bit of noise. You usually get the most noise sitting further infront of the engine like in the first video.
Arthur Christmas it's the loudest In the back of the cabin dude
Jefford717 that’s the point as the 787s are more eco friendly and quieter.
Jefford717 It sounds so shit
The engine could've also been at a lower power setting. It's actually uncommon for airliners to take off at full power.
I would say the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 is a lot loud but if passengers want something a lot quiet General Electric GEnx is the way to go.
Good thing this is available in 1080HD...really enhances the sound coming out of my iPhone sound holes...
If you like quiet engines, obviously GE wins. However, that takes all the fun out of it. Give me some of that 727 noise LOL
DCussen Back row on an MD 80 🖖
Ah, the B 727. My father is an engineer and worked on designing part of the fuselage of the 727 when he was employed by Boeing. The 727 would later be nicknamed the "Cooper Special" after one was hijacked.
D.B. Cooper?
"D.B. Cooper" was the alias for a man who went by that name who in 1971 hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727. The day before Thanksgiving of 1971, he purchased a one-way ticket for a flight from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA. He paid the $18.88 fare with a $20 bill, and soon boarded the plane, a Boeing 727-100. The 727 was unique as it had a built-in retractable staircase that was built into the rear of the fuselage.
Soon after the plane took off, he handed a flight attendant a note. The note read that he had a bomb. He opened his attache`, and showed her what she believed to be a home-made bomb. She took the note to the pilots. The pilots saw he was demanding to be given 4 parachutes, and $200,000 in cash. The pilots contacted Seattle-Tacoma airport tower, who then called the FBI, Secret Service, and NTSB. The CEO of the airline was also notified, and authorized the ransom to be paid, and told the pilot over the radio to see that everyone cooperated and did as "Cooper" told them. The plane landed, and when the parachutes and money were provided (brought on board by an unarmed FBI agent, who had strippeddown to his underwear and t-shirt as ordered by Cooper), the passengers were released. Cooper secured the money and parachutes, then forced the pilots and crew to stay onboard, and take off again. Cooper had ordered them to fly him to Mexico City. As the plane passed to 10,000 ft., Cooper activated the rear staircase, took his cash, and bailed out, parachuted over the forest surrounding Tacoma, Washington. He has never been seen since. The FBI kept the ca'cold case open until 1980, but with no leads, dropped it, and it was shelved as a "cold case". However, to this day, there is a $100,000 reward offered by the FBI for information leading to the arrest and conviction of "D.B. Cooper". Cooper, believed to be in his early 40's in 1971 would be nearly 90 today.
DCussen Maybe last few rows on the concord haha. Love your comment
787 Dreamliner with GE was the quietest trip on an aircraft I have experienced - did an AA Chicago to Barcelona RT - you can hold a simple conversation like you were sitting near each other. I had no idea the Trents were so damn loud and sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
Just flew DC to San Diego last week on a 737 Max 9 and I was impressed with how much quieter that plane was compared to a typical 737-9.
DANG General electrics engine is quieter which is very nice because you could get more sleep
That person sneezing really cracked me up. As for the engines, General Electric. Always.
Rolls Royce is my favorite engine sound.
General electric, Pratt and Whitney and Rolls Royce is my favorite. So I'm on no one's side which means I like them all :)
YUP! Rolls Royce is the way to go
Well every one on board RR caught cold 🥶 after sneezing in the background 🤧 5 times 😪😂😂😂😂
BOTH are just as good as the other ... Jet Engines....ah! Music to my Ears!! Happy Landings !!!😍🤩
The difference seems unreal. I guess filming played a role.....
But amazing piece of work ..... 1000 thumbs up for you......
Guess I'm on that side of TH-cam this morning
I work with GE aviation and proud to see positive reviews out there.
Kids likes Car sounds Men like bike sounds Legends like AIRPLANE ENGINE ROARING SOUNDS ❤
Not an apples to apples comparison. There are recording factors to consider, including microphone placement, type, etc that make this invalid. But it's a very fun video for us nevertheless. 😆 Thank you for creating it. 🤗
I liked both of the engines! What I liked about the Rolls Royce engine is that it sounds very powerful and I liked the GE engine because it sounds very quit!
Kristopher Maron rr might sound powerful but due genx is way more powerful than the trent 1000 ^^
Because it used RR technology
rr maximum trust 80.k lbf higher than ge but ge offer high fuel efficiency
hahahha genx doesnt need full thrust in that take off while roll royce using everything he could to take off
On a long haul flight I would prefer the GE but medium haul the RR
RR's Titanium fan blades vs GE's composites fan blades. ....well, tough choice though, both are pretty well engineered ....
GTF will beat them both
Nice sound
Nice Wing Flex
Rolls Royce for sure, I love the sound of them 👍
well than me too
GE engine sound really very smooth.
nah I go for the Rolls Royce
For me, although it wasn't the best of comparisons all things considered, I have to give it to the Rolls-Royce engine. I suppose when the guy that invented the jet engine worked for your company, you've got to be off to a good start! Can't wait to hear the new R-R UltraFan when it comes out - it looks amazing... 🙂👍
The engines are running sweet!
Genx so much quieter and pure power sound
Jude Bryan Co it’s quieter because it’s at the side of the engine whereas the rolls Royce vid is in front of the engine
Lol THERE IS NO POWER SOUND ROLCE ROYCE NAILED IT PURE POWER SOUND
The difference in angle would not make that much of a difference. The GEnx IS far more quiet than the Trents.
the angle makes an enormous difference
Not filmed in the exact seat so hard to tell but the RR is a winner
that ge is so quiet for being the same power
Love the GEnx!
Rolls Royce for me, the GE is cool too but there's something about the old school sound of that RR engine as the aircraft takes off haha! Can deffo fall asleep to that sound too.
General Electric - GEnx is AWESOME every time & Any time.
HATS OFF !!!
As a plane connoisseur, I like the RE's whine but to bear it for the entire flight (which may even be long-haul) would be brain-numbing. I will go for the GE. Thank you.
I've listened to both engines with a 787 taking off after all the traffic has left on a quiet night (ground crew). The Rolls-Royce sounds very much like the GE90 on takeoff but is noticeably quieter than the GEnx at idle. The GE on the other hand has a more subtle and quieter spool up on takeoff, but is a little more noticeable on the ground. Still wouldn't notice either 787s coming until they're nearly just feet away.
Being an old C5A TF39 fan, (pun intended), The Trent has a sweet futuristic sound to it, while the GEnx isn't distinguishable at all. Not saying anything more than the "favorite" sound, both are amazing engines.
So the ones who said Boeing is noisier than airbus well........ GenX come to the stage!!!
Everytime I ride a plane:
*WING SEAT!!*
Nice, the 2nd one sounds like my old refrigerator
Both great sounding engines but I would give the nod the the GE GENX because it sounds more subtle and refined. The RR Trent engine sounds like a muscle car at startup but a little noisy once in full spool and airborne.
The GE is more quiet and smooth, but if you compare them based on sound, I have to say the Trent sounds better.
Yes, but this isn't about which of them sounds most like a Harley...
I hope you know the recordings weren't accurate. The position of the GoPro camera wasn't right, giving a Low quality sound and it wasnt right in front of the engine compared to RR, I can assure you GeNX is beautiful..
yup. the Trents make it better
Ge is smooth n best
One of my favorite sounds
I normally dig the growl of a RR; however, that one sounded like it was on its way to shelling out. The GE takes this contest hands down!
