Well... it would be easy to add some white/pink (or other color ;^) noise
to
a nice quiet flanger... than to remove the BBD noise from a poor one...

My first experience with the BBD was the "Electric Mistress" flanger...
which
I thought totally SUCKED and could not believe anyone-in-their-right-mind
would buy.

(of course, buy they did... proving again that I am not the only opinion
in
the world....)

The audio examples mentioned for 'through-zero' flanging DO have the jet
plane sound... but it is strictly from modulation of the audio signal...
not excess
system noise.

I do agree... if it is the 'jet plane' sound you like, the BBDs do it
well...even
without the added complexity of feeding in an input signal.   ;^P
