I didn't get a chance to hear it, so I don't know if it's as whiny as they say.

1 Interesting. That looks like the plane I saw at the Grand Junction airport when we were taking off the other day. I looked at it and thought that it couldn't be a Starship, but wasn't sure what it could be...

2 Almost the same layout as Starship, only shuttle-shaped and has a little fixed canard.

3 Yes, the Avanti has a unique buzzing/whining sound.  One used to fly regularly on approach overhead our house.

4 I've seen one of those, and it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
