But there are many stupid noisy cars and motorcycles in my city or they drive through my city and they sound deafening like that. I wonder why many cars make almost no noise? --- End quote --- I agree. I hate noisy cars an motorbikes. They should be banned. I can see the need for some noise and electric cars can be too quiet, as people don't hear them coming, but a lot of it is excessive. |

A good V8 at 9000+ rpm sounds pretty cool IMHO. https://youtu.be/fbTRaDQ1tJA |

If you want to enjoy that sound at home, I recommend buying a model aircraft engine. Better check with the neighbors first. ;) --- End quote --- A Ferrari F1 V12 engine sounds nothing like a model aircraft engine. I've heard people suffering from a broken exhaust on their car with a wheezy four pot engine and say "it sounded like a Ferrari". Is a significant proportion of the population unable to distinguish different sounds? --- Quote from: james_s on May 18, 2019, 07:10:43 am ---I think one of the nicest sounding engines I've heard is the Bristol Centaurus sleeve valve radial. It's a unique sound with no valve noise. --- End quote --- What a lovely noise, I could listen to that all day 8) 8) |

--- Quote ---In 1994, Harley-Davidson filed a sound trademark application for its distinctive V-twin engine sound. It realized that if it could capture its own sound, it could distinguish the brand at every point of customer interaction. Just like a visual logo, the most essential qualities of a sound logo are uniqueness, memorability, and relevancy to the brand promise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_trademark#Sound_logos --- End quote --- |

I also thought the race engine in the first video sounded a lot like a model Airplane engine, high pitched whine, very short stroke, very high RPM, it's not a sound I find pleasing at all but to each their own. |
