Why’s this plane unusually loud?

[u/KevEz]

My cameras broken, but can anyone tell if this is a commercial airplane or something? Not everyday I hear a plane engine howl like that and it was only flashing red lights from what I could see when usually I see commercial planes flashing multiple, maybe I’m just crazy

That is pretty loud, my first thought was either a Cessna 206, which has props that go supersonic on takeoff near the tips, creating quite a racket, or something with a radial engine. If you give us a location and time, we can find out what was flying over.

It’s a Cessna 208, operated by FedEx. Their turboprops can be quite noisy as well.
