I'll answer the aircraft noise. The helicopter is at what's called ground idle, ie engine running but the rotor brake is still on and engine at idle speed. It's normal for a rotary aircraft to sit there at ground idle as the startup checks takes a while.
Once the passengers are onboard, the pilot will disengage the rotor brake and with the throttle bring the rotors up to flight idle. You don't have people walking to your aircraft at flight idle, some numpty will walk into a very fast spinning tail rotor!
Once flight idle is achieved, and everyone's ready, collective pitch is applied (engine power and angle of blades together) and the bird lifts off.
You have to be some special kind of stupid shill to say this is NOT fake.
It looks EXTREMELY suspicious, however I still think it's possible (but unlikely) that the press started using MASSIVE microphones.
I'll be watching closely from now on.
What just happend is not possible. And why does the chopper make sounds when its not even on..As i stated in my first comment. The stupidity..

Ah i see. Thanks for the explination. I guess the video is not fake then (its fake).
