> 757's have a very unjetlike noise. It is a buzz that sounds more like a prop plane than a jet. Jets get my attention when the wheels come up after take off. Most of them sound and feel like something is falling apart.

Never flown on 757s, but as far as I've been told, it depends on the engine (something related to the bigger fan going supersonic). It happens also on newer 737s.

Not yet, but my PPL is a good start. After it, the next step will be a rating for the floatplane version of the C172s
