* If you are not used in hearing to the deafening sound of the engines of the aircraft, you are advised to cover your ears or use a pair of earplugs in order to protect your ears. The maximum sound of an aircraft taking off is 120 decibels. Nowdays, most engines of passenger aircraft are fitted with hushkits to decrease the noise made, but protecting your ears is still advised. In addition, most passenger aircraft use turbofan engines that have a curtain of air to reduce the noise made. Early passenger airliners use turbojet engines that is noisy and produce less thrust compared to a turbofan engine. A turbofan engine have a high bypass ratio that it have more thrust compared to a turbojet engine.
