Noises coming from

Noises coming from a training helicopter, which was circling overhead, made our conversation impossible.

Is the sentence correct? I wanted to add an adjective before "noises" but did not find a suitable one. Could you suggest one?

Thanks

"Noises" usually means "intermittent sounds", whereas a helicopter would usually produce a continuous noise. " would be better. ", if that's what you mean.

"The noise coming from..." would be better.

You could say "The loud noise..." or "The deafening noise...", if that's what you mean.
