honestly i don't think the pw-4000 knows what it wants to be when it grows up. on the ground it wants to be a ge-90 but in the air it wants to be a trent 800. and sounds scrappy at best.
Nothing beats the sound of the R-2800 radial they made back in the 40's although performance wise they are a far cry from the 100, 000 + lbs of thrust those PW4000 series make
The twin-engine jets have come a long way, tech-wise and power-wise, since I first flew on a twinjet in the mid-70's. BTW the first jet I ever flew on was a Boeing 737, Piedmont Airlines.
That 777 must have been packed to capacity. The pilot used alot of runway and climb of a shorter pitch. I think the pilot wanted to gain a lot of airspeed.
Screamfreak, United sometimes makes the ATC available to passengers, at the captain's discretion, via their entertainment system. I think JAL (Japan Airlines) has the same.
Nothing quite like having two giant engines with 90,000 pounds of thrust each, like on this 777, to get you into the air. Experienced this kind of power on an AA 777 twice..they too have two giant engines producing 90,000 pounds of thrust each.
Not only that, it's takeoff roll is remarkably not that long...it's a rocket. And one of the reasons it has such a great climb rate is because it's wing is the most efficient in aviation, and that is a fact.
Somehow, it's amazing to see a takeoff on Youtube like this.

Is it my impression, or even the PW4000 for 777s are less noisy than the GE-90 and RR engines for 777?

camera do not jam the atc at the takoff dumbasses !!
Interferences from those devices ar not stronger enough to distract the atc, telephones are a bit more stronger but not enough !

i was told they do but not to atc,i was told electronic stuff used by you interferes with the pilots stuff

Video cameras don't cause interference, most cell phones, as well as radios, does. Hope that helps.

It does not interfere with communications, so stop whining, theres tons of this stuff on youtube, and cameras do not transmit anything.
