flare sounds?

[gbnavy61]

Is there some code to link a sound to the deploying of flares? Referring to internal decoy dispensers, not external.

No, that's another event that has no sound coding. Besides, you'd never hear that in RL from the cockpit. Even externally, the ejector cartridge's "pop" would undoubtedly be drowned out by engine and aerodynamic noises. AFAIK, it's nothing more than a glorified (and under-charged) shotgun cartridge

This would depend on where the buckets are and in what aircraft.

 

For instance, in the Herc you can hear a distinct "thump" while dispensing from the forward buckets when you're in the cockpit

and from the armpit buckets when you're in the cargo compartment.

 

And most people consider the Herc a "loud" aircraft when you're inside.

True. But consider the cartridges also. An ALE-29/A uses a Cartridge that is about 1/3 the size of a AAA Battery. A ALE-39 used on most Transport Aircraft uses a Cartridge about 1/2 size of a "D" Battery because the Aircraft that would be using the Bucket would move at a slower Speed requiring more Pressure on the Decoy/Chaff to be ejected away from the Aircraft. The Cartridges are reffered to as "Cads" and are electrically primed. The "Cads" are used to make pressure for Ejection. Same principle is used for Bomb Racks. They use larger "Cads" to produce Pressure that release, Or "Kick Open" the Lug Hooks and Kick the Bomb away by supplying Pressure to the Ejection Feet of the Bomb Rack through Gasses of the "Cads" being piped to there. The "Cads" for Parent Racks and MERs/TERs are about a Inch in length and about a Silver Dollar round.

 

These Charges are Ballistitc Charges and are Controlled Burns. They contain Nitrocellulose and Nitroglycerine to produce large amount of Explosive Pressure. Also used in some Rocket Motors.

 

Examples of the Cartridges used for Decoy Buckets are CCU-63/B, CCU-106/B and CCU-136/A. Cartridges for Bomb Racks Examples would be the CCU-9/B and CCU-10/B.

 

The Sound of a Bomb Rack would indeed make a Sound much like a loud "Thump" due to the size of the Charge and the Gasses working a Mechanical Linkage to release the Bomb or Store.

 

The ALE-39/A Bucket used on most Transport Aircraft and Helicopters would have a "Thump" Sound. Not as loud as a Bomb Rack, But due to the size of the Charge would have a "Small" Thump Sound.

 

ALE-29/A's used on most Military Combat Jet Aircraft would have a Sound like a Object that was pushed through a Pipe under Pressure. Like Fubar512 has stated, One wouldn't hear it over the operation of the Jet Engines.
