TikTok app decodes the ‘secret language’ of airplane sounds

It’s Ding-Joysticks.

Passengers on the plane were amazed to learn that the “rings” that are scattered throughout the plane are actually a code used by crew members to communicate with each other, among other things. A video explaining this “English on the plane” has already been viewed nearly two million times on the website Tik Tok.

It turns out that this [dings] “It’s like a secret language between the flight crew and the cockpit,” creator Mitch Muhammad explained in the clip.

That’s right, these harmless bells aren’t just limited to the seat belt sign and the flight attendant call button.

According to the clip, a single beep sounds when the plane is preparing to take off or land. At the same time, two beeps indicate that the plane is at a safe altitude for the use of electronic devices and other supplies, according to the video.

“this” [single ding] “This is usually a signal that takeoff has been cleared, and sometimes comes with a voice command from the cockpit,” said a radio signals expert. “About five minutes after takeoff, you’ll hear two chimes while you’re in the air that indicate the aircraft is at 10,000 feet, which means WiFi and laptops can be used and flight attendants can stand up if it’s safe to do so.”

Meanwhile, you will hear one chime later, indicating that the crew is about to start serving food and drinks.

There are also a host of other secret signals that the cockpit uses to communicate with the crew, such as Morse code that can be up to a mile high.

You never want to hear three sirens because this trio of tones indicates an emergency.

TikTok commenters were stunned by the horrific lesson.

“I thought it was a seatbelt,” one viewer gushed, while another wrote, “I’ve always wondered what that was, but I also thought it was a call button.”

Meanwhile, other experts have confirmed Mohammed’s translation of the flight.

“As an easyJet cabin crew member, I can confirm that the first sound after take-off is a signal from the cockpit to the crew that the equipment is ready,” one explained.
