When I am flying my 747 - 400, and about 50nm from landing, I get this sound, which sounds like a horn?
Is this some sort of navigational sound, as it is not your usuall beeping sound?
Thanks again....Tomcat61

hey tomcat....
I am not sure but I think the sound comes....
either from your wheels when the coming down or the lowering of your flaps.

I can't remember the specific situation, but at certain combos of : airspeed, throttle/flap settings,, the computer "thinks" the gear should be lowered and sounds a warning,, that may be it.

I think that warning sounds when you set full flaps, with the gear up.
I usually try to deploy flaps in increments, with full flaps and gear down just before aquiring the ILS Localizer.
