Not an aerodynamic engineer but my best guess is that it’s something to do the planes coming into land to Glasgow with the low cloud, moist air and low pressure below the cloud.

I live just underneath the flight path where planes circle in land at Glasgow and normally hear it when the weather is like this. You can’t really hear much when the plane is in the cloud, then it gradually builds as the plane descends until it bursts through the bottom of the cloud. That sound is exacerbated by the moist air because water droplets propagate sound more.
Video below is what we example of what you’d hear popping through the clouds.

Edit: Flightradar24 is 5 mins behind real time so might be worth trying to match it up.
