Fear of flying? What the noises on the plane really mean. Around 16 percent of Germans suffer from fear of flying, and another 22 percent feel at least uncomfortable in the air.

Irish aviation fan and broadcaster Riyadh Khalaf tries to ease some of the worries of air travelers by explaining where certain noises on planes come from. He reached over 3.2 million people with his video, over 180,000 of whom left him a like. For Lars Frontini, who works as a pilot for a large German airline, the aviation fan's comments sound plausible.
