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!!!

Tough call, but a howling flat-6 is hard to beat. A lot of V8s (especially Yank ones) just sound fat and lazy to me, but harder edged angry revvy ones I quite like.

Decatted C63 AMG...

I have a feeling this is going to be a topic full of car noises but this is by far the noise that makes me smile the most these days from one: http://youtu.be/h3Wkwf05YTQ?t=55s

Carrera GT always makes me smile too:

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.

mclaren f1 bmw v12

also, a single turbo rb26 sounds suprisingly good for a turbo motor.

[M159V8]

A tuned Impreza flat 4 burble floats my boat, especially with the anti-lag crackles, pops and bangs! (I know its bad for the engine)
Other than that, decatted SLS on full chat.

PP'd six rotor engine from New Zealand, massively awesome!

In the dyno, not bad for an N/A car.

Two similar engines being thrashed through the gears, where you get a resonant beat note. Eg two bikes close to eachother, especially when I am on one of them.

[Roadru77er]

Rolls Royce Merlin

[skyrover]

Most yank crossplane V8's

however I also have a soft spot for the inline 5

[coppice]

Step aside and here are some real engine noises- Bugatti T35, Ferrari 246 GP car , Ferrari 312T, Ferrari 512S, Matra MS 120,Toyota V10 in the 2006 ish F1 car. Larrousse Lamborghini F1, any small block Chevy on Webers, Audi Quattro Sport, Metro 6R4, Cosworth FVA and a 911R flat 6

[civicduty]

Rockwell B-1 Lancer, well 4 of them taking off.

Excellently specific!

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