The sound track at the start of the film is the sound of the helicopters - "whop whop whop....." {try saying it aloud very fast}

A "whir" or a "hum" would be my choices. "Noisy" might be added if it's particularly loud.

Just before "The Flight Of the Valkyries". That kind of fan wouldn't lull anyone to sleep
