Why do A319s make a buzzing noise?

I've been flying A319s a lot lately, and they all seem to make a loud buzzing/groaning noise when the engines are throttled. It starts on takeoff and persists through the flight. I previously thought...

Totally agree--the F/G club has been decently "crowded" (by COVID standards) for months. I suspect most will blame cost-cutting. I, personally, just miss the plane watching from that club...

It also seems that the agents working in the SkyPriority line at the hubs seem to attach the yellow tag as a matter of habit. Once as FO using one of the SP lines that was open to FO the agent...

Some new food selections at MSP. The new chicken curry pita sandwich was quite tasty--the only sandwich post-COVID I dared to eat--the others sounded gross.

Agreed—the “C+” seats feel more cramped than any others. OTOH, I never felt that the exit row gave you extra legroom—it always seemed to be the same pitch as other rows.
