An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Dallas left passengers astonished after hearing strange “moaning” sounds coming from the plane’s intercom system. A viral video posted on social media showed one passenger’s reaction to the strange sounds.
Passenger Emerson Collins hypothesizes in his video that someone hijacked the plane’s intercom system to deliver sounds “somewhere between an orgasm and vomiting.” The noises reportedly lasted from takeoff to landing, noticeably irritating and confusing flight attendants (video below).
The video includes a message from a confused flight attendant who apologized for the “irritating sound.”
“Please be patient with us, we know it’s a very odd anomaly, and none of us are enjoying it, so we do appreciate your attention just for a few more moments until we figure out how to turn it off,” the flight attendant can be heard saying over the PA system.

American Airlines says a mechanical issue was responsible for strange sounds coming from a plane’s public announcement system.
“The PA systems onboard our aircraft are hardwired and there is no external access,” the airline wrote in a statement to KTLA on Tuesday.
“Following the initial report, our maintenance team thoroughly inspected the aircraft and the PA system and determined the sounds were caused by a mechanical issue with the PA amplifier, which raises the volume of the PA system when the engines are running,” the airline said, according to KTLA.

The weirdest flight ever.
These sounds started over the intercom before takeoff and continued throughout the flight.
