I've not heard this popping sound, Blanche. I hope it's not your engine!

However, this does illustrate an issue I've always found funny, which is:
People who say they "Don't want ANR headsets because they want to really
*hear* the engine..."

What a load of malarkey, eh? You can hear the engine -- and anything else
going on in the plane -- 10,000 times better using ANR headsets, than
without them.

Heck, I've got a rattle that drives me NUTS at 23 squared. It's the
co-pilot's ashtray cover vibrating.

Try to hear THAT without ANR!

Jay:

I just got a pair of the twenty3G and most of the time really love
them. Unfortunately, I now hear things I didn't before (I've been
using 15Ks) which makes me a bit unsettled -- the A&P and I are going
to do research on my engine...

One issue -- a popping sound as I'm taxiing and during takeoff. Don't
hear it again, but every flight so far, popping.

There's also a whine once in a while which I think is the final approach
of the ILS but it's been happening in other locations.

Once it warms up around here, I'll go do more study.

The only popping noise I hear is when I've got the canopy open, the wind
from the propblast tends to push the headphones off their seal a little bit
which causes a sort of a bleet from the ANR circuitry.

As for the whine, any chance your alternator/battery is a little weak at
low RPM's. With everything on in our plane, the we picked up of a
whine at extremely low power settings (it's in the intercom actually,
not the heasets themselves).

trust me, an open dooron a cherokee isn't easier to hear with
an ANR headset. First clue I had was a cooollllldddd breeze.

I had the opposite problem. While climbing to cruising altitude,
one of my exhaust tubes broke at the flange on the cylinder. I
noticed that the engine sound had increased substantially, but
initially figured that the battery on my ANR headset had died. It
took a few moments for me to realize that I wasn't wearing my ANR
headset that morning.

I had an exhaust pipe break. I could hear a clanking. I took off the
headsets so I could hear it better, and then I couldn't hear it over the
rest of the engine noise. Putting them back on I could hear the clank
again.
