Narrative:
Arlanda clearance delivery gave us our clearance over the radio which all 3 crew members heard and read back the alola 3G departure. After departure, control asked us what SID we were flying, control replied that our clearance was the nortel 3G, but there was no problem. After leveloff we queried the tower controller who said that he gave us the nortel departure because of noise at that time of night. Tower said that the tape will be pulled. The crew and I discussed this incidence at length among ourselves. Our conclusion was that we all definitely heard alola departure and that nortel was not near in phraseology given the language accent. Local time of XA00 of course would be a factor. A possible solution to avoid a repeat would be to post the valid time on the SID plate, ie, not available at night due to noise.

Narrative: ARLANDA CLRNC DELIVERY GAVE US OUR CLRNC OVER THE RADIO WHICH ALL 3 CREW MEMBERS HEARD AND READ BACK THE ALOLA 3G DEP. AFTER DEP, CTL ASKED US WHAT SID WE WERE FLYING, CTL REPLIED THAT OUR CLRNC WAS THE NORTEL 3G, BUT THERE WAS NO PROB. AFTER LEVELOFF WE QUERIED THE TWR CTLR WHO SAID THAT HE GAVE US THE NORTEL DEP BECAUSE OF NOISE AT THAT TIME OF NIGHT. TWR SAID THAT THE TAPE WILL BE PULLED. THE CREW AND I DISCUSSED THIS INCIDENCE AT LENGTH AMONG OURSELVES. OUR CONCLUSION WAS THAT WE ALL DEFINITELY HEARD ALOLA DEP AND THAT NORTEL WAS NOT NEAR IN PHRASEOLOGY GIVEN THE LANGUAGE ACCENT. LCL TIME OF XA00 OF COURSE WOULD BE A FACTOR. A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO AVOID A REPEAT WOULD BE TO POST THE VALID TIME ON THE SID PLATE, IE, NOT AVAILABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO NOISE.
