00:00How loud is a UH-60 Blackhawk?
00:03When two Blackhawks from the Wisconsin National Guard lift off,
00:06the answer becomes impossible to ignore.
00:09The moment those massive rotor blades start spinning,
00:12the air erupts into a deep, pounding roar,
00:15often measured at over 100 decibels depending on the surroundings.
00:18Why so loud?
00:19The Blackhawk uses powerful twin turbine engines that push out enormous thrust,
00:24and its large four-blade main rotor slices through the air with explosive force.
00:28Each rotation creates pressure waves that echo across the ground,
00:31sending vibrations you can feel in your chest.
00:34It's more than just noise.
00:35It's the unmistakable signature of a helicopter built for power, lift, and mission readiness.
00:41You hear the Blackhawk long before you ever see it.
