A flight attendant wowed passengers by explaining what various sounds on aeroplanes mean \u2013 and it turns out to be a secret code.<\/p>\n

Air host Tommy Cimato, who has a whopping 460,000 followers on TikTok, first posted the viral video in 2021 where it snagged over 10million views.<\/p>\n

He shared the clip again recently where it took off once more as civilians learned what the various \u2018pings\u2019 mean when travelling by plane.<\/p>\n

Some of the sounds are common and you\u2019ll have heard them on any flights you\u2019ve taken.<\/p>\n

Having been recently re-posted, the video has racked up thousands more views.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tommy captioned the clip: \u201cHave you ever heard this sound on a plane before?\u201d<\/p>\n

A loud double ding sounded overhead \u2013 a noise we\u2019ve all heard on planes before \u2013 and Tommy explained the reason behind it.<\/p>\n

The content creator said: \u201cHave you ever wondered what that means?<\/p>\n

\u201cA high\/low chime like that means that one flight attendant is truing to call another flight attendant or the flight deck is trying to call us.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, a variation of the tonal pings meant something very different.<\/p>\n

Tommy said: \u201cIf you hear three of those [high\/low chimes] then that means it\u2019s an emergency, but you never will have to hear that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

He also noted that a singular chime meant that \u201ca passenger is calling one of the flight attendants from our seat or they could be calling us from the lavatory.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the comments people were surprised by the information \u2013 though other flight attendants pointed out that sometimes the chime sounds differ by airline.<\/p>\n

A commenter noted: \u201cI wish you hadn\u2019t told me about the three\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for explaining the tones,\u201d added another. \u201cIt's one of those things I've been curious about.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a third said: \u201cJust flew back from Hawaii and I listened for those three tones the whole way.\u201d<\/p>\n
