Greatest sounding machines.

[Pacman.]

Just for a bit of fun Let’s see your nominations for greatest sounding machines.
It can be anything from cars, bikes, planes, trains or anything that is powered by an engine.

My nominations below is the mighty Rolls Royce/Packard V12 variants of engine fitted to some of the Allies World War 2 aircraft.

Nothing can quite compare to these when they are being wound up to max chat.

Growing up we were lucky enough to have the Vulcan fly low over our house a few times. That noise will stay with me forever and the only plane to make the windows rattle in their frames.
The video won’t do it justice. But if you know, you know.

1m30s onwards. Sounded awesome at Silverstone Classics a few years ago.

 

[MarkCup]

 

[Krarl]

 

[Short Norman]

Fast forward to 45 seconds

 

[McGherkin]

Car wise,


In general? Paxman Valenta probably. Can’t go wrong with a turbo the size of a coffee table.

 

[adamlstr]

I personally love the Audi 5-cylinder turbo noise from the S1 cars...



I could listen to them all day.

Beat me to the rotary goodness there @Christopher - I was going to post that earlier!

 

[Euan94]

Judd V8 has to be up there, especially when it's in a 1 series

 

[frayz]

991 RSR



Ferrari FXX

 

[Greeny.]

The Judd V8 is a hell of a machine, love that.

 

[S-JM]

The Driftworks AE86 makes me go all sweaty, also, this small clip of an R34 GTR makes my widge tingle. TBH I saw a Vulcan in person a few years back and the afterburner was one of the loudest things I've heard, crazy.

 

[Pacman.]

Between the two I think the P51 Mustang just pips it over the Spitfire for noise.

 

[adamlstr]

Lest we forget how good F1 *used* to sound....

 

[Big Toe]

Always preferred the 6R4 sound from the rally cars


W8

 

[MLB]

Lots of great sounding machines in here already!

Personally if I had the money I'd get a Lexus LFA and drive that daily, everywhere, all the time.

 

[clio tyres]

Need head phones and a sub

 

[Greeny.]

Being abit of a BTCC fanboy the old NA S40 5 pot was always one of my favourite sounding cars

 

[Crazylegs]

Audi S1 or 787b.



I'm a massive fan of military jets too, really miss the noise off the Tornado GR4.

Feel privileged to have seen them fly past with swept wings at the Mach Loop on numerous occasions.

What a sight and what a sound!

 

[Panda.]

Another vote for the 787B!! What a noise!!!

 

[DomP182]

Not got a video and totally biased but I love the sound of my Triumph Daytona 675 with TOR exhaust

 

[Pacman.]

I’m surprised by the lack of motorcycles at the moment.

Got to say I’ve always loved the 6R4 sound and the Audi Quattro S1.

[Pacman.]

Whilst looking through YouTube. I found this Bike.

The Honda CBX.
What a great sounding machine it is.

 

[Willo40]

Videos dont do them justice, genuinely one of the most incredible sounds and sights i have ever seen.

 

[frayz]

The Prospeed Audi E2S1

 

[Usr117063]

I guess this counts, Sennas throttle technique

 

[thecrim22]

Cant beat that

 

[thecrim22]

[Philip.]

 

[SharkyUK]

Ferrari F50 GT1 (potato-vision, 30 secs onwards...)

 

[Gally]

Those Vulcan noises are hair tingling. The LFA for me is the finest. Non modded V10, it has that perfect almost V12 F1 squeal but without the heavy pitch. A perfect car.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

991 RSR

They sound better at LeMans ha ha ha.

I'm glad @Christopher posted the 787B but christ, how was that not the second video posted. This thread should also have NSFW in the title.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Lest we forget how good F1 *used* to sound....

5min 25sec, you get the more modern car that sounds great and then the one from the 90's just trumps it, not only in sound but looks. The early 90's was a special time in F1, the cars looked great.

How does a company peak and dip so quick with just one car? ha ha ha
