RE: PH Blog: noise matters
Discussion
This is a great thread. My favorite sound is of 60's and 70's American V8's. The throbby beat is awsome.
The car i drive has a unique sound. I know its a smart car but i gaurantee you would never guess it was if you heard me coming.
These are a couple of my favorite videos one is of the Rev off at Wilton House and the other is of a Veyron with a Sports exhaust it sounds evil.

PH 'Sound Matters', oh yes 
The sounds made my all those old competition cars at Goodwood Revival meets is just wonderful.
Historic rally cars in the forests - or anywhere - sound great too. Somehow the modern WRC cars fail to bring out that sort of excitement for me. Perhaps it's all those carb-fed engines which made the difference.
And my personal favourite has to be the Alfa V6, Busso, engine.
Biased? Oh yes.
GTV6 with Ansa exhausts.
Alfa 75 with sports exhausts.
Hawk Stratos V6 with stainless system and no cockpit soundproofing; sounds mad! Changing that car from the 12v to the 24v engine increased the top-end mechanical noise a lot, plus tubular steel manifolds, and over time the exhaust seems to have lost most, if not all, of it's soundproofing.
Now if I could have an original Strat, with Dino engine, the sound would be even better. Even with less power, that was a magical sound in rallying
