Serious question: Does the community gave to secure items to prevent them from falling? Have you ever had shattered windows?

Less serious questions: Is it a 140dB alarm? Do you recognize models by sound? I assume the A320 is medium-size, do they have bigger airplanes?

Planes coming in above us were at about 1000ft, and there was definitely vibration, but not enough to damage windows. We did have some badly secured pictures fall off the walls, and items on shelves had a tendency to vibrate their way off the edges.

Not 140dB, but to give you an idea of how loud it was, we had to pause the TV or conversation when planes were coming over because we couldn't hear it.

We could absolutely recognize models by sound.

Very rarely did we have anything larger than an A320, Adelaide is not a big airport, but we did have some big military aircraft come through.

It's an international airport. Pre-Covid A380s and 747s were common. Now we don't see many A380s anymore.
