THE best sound in the world..EVER?

[stormy22]

Exactly that...what is the best sound in the world.....EVER? (Yes I know that sounds all Clarkyfied).
(Lets put the obvious aside..."My daughters first words" "My wife screaming my name.....your wife screaming my name.... my wife and your wife screaming my name" etc of course...but this is a car forum.

For me it' a big block V8 (or pretty much any V8 for that matter), pulling away, racing through the revs, through straight-thru exhausts...through a tunnel!

What about you lot?

THIS........ ORGASMIC!!!

I guess context plays a big part, so for me it'd have to be that perfect 2nd-3rd upchange and the ensuing pops and bangs from my Street Triple's Arrow 3-1 exhaust in the tunnel at the top of the Grossglockner. That was a good sound.

Excellently specific!

On a vaguer note, I'll edit mine to add 'through a tunnel'

I love the sound of C63 AMGs normally but that sounds horrible. :/

Absolutely agree.

Sounds like it is shouting out of control...like it is suffering on a psychiatric ward.

Horrible sound

Viper, non?

That's what I thought when I first saw it. The front is Viper-like but the rear looks too flat.

Found it!

Fair enough...still think the rear end is Corvetty

Maybe not in the spirit of the OP, but at least automotive…

The sound of a BMC A-Series engine catching after the whine of the bendix starter subsided in my Mum’s Morris Marina. Easily the best sound in the world to an eight year old me, as it confirmed that another walk to school in the cold due to the legendary reliability of 1970s Leyland cars had been averted.

Having said that, the shame of arriving at school in a Bracken Yellow 1.3 “Super” Marina gave the long cold walk a run for its money.

Ah..a childhood emotion. Gotta love those memories!

I'm really partial to the sound of a straight six - like ripping silk when they are good but I did like this oosted in another topic recently

I drove mine for the first time in 6 months on Wednesday. Tunnel, window down, bmw straight 6, cold air induction. There are better automotive sounds, but not in my budget. Not even close.

I'd argue that...if I knew the budget?

The sound when you twang a plastic ruler overhanging the edge of a desk, then move it further onto the desk to change the noise! Best sound ever lol
