New helicopter sounds are horrible. Please return previous samples.
I am talking about all new sounds:
- Wind in ears (especially hummingbird and pawnee).
If you turn your head in helicopter sound of wind will not change. You may turn your head to the left on 90 degrees but sound never changes. Your right ear will get the same sample as in neutral position.
It is bad and cause motion seakness (especially if you use TrackIR).
Btw, in RL pilots use special helmets and you will not hear that sounds so clearly.
- Sounds at >100 km/h speed
I think helicopter will break apart in the air. The clatter and banging is so unpleasant. IMO, there are no such kind of sounds in RL helicopters.
- Sound of crash
Really, old one was much better. I can see that helicopter blows up but cannot hear the sound of explosion.
- Sound of landing
This sound is very unnatural and unpleasant to hear.
Here is videos from RL:

As you can see there are no that horrible sounds from 1,2 and 4 paragraphs, I have mentioned. Also you may hear how pilot helmets reduce other noises.
Probably, there are more problems with samples but I caanot say anything about them. I liked flying helicopters in every version of Arma 3 before 1.32 but in 1.32 I really don't want to pilot them because of this problems. I just cannot accept this sounds, they cut my ears.
Also sometimes this sounds plays twice,for example, landing and crush sounds.
