Allright folks,

Now I don't want to start a fight (cause this discussion tends to end that way) but I want to have a part of this forum where we can place videos or sound clips that opitimise our favourite car sounds. I'm not just talking exhausts but rather the noises that your car makes (engine, exhaust, gearbox, diff, interior) that make you love it.

We're here for the love of automobiles that we have, why not celebrate it through noise!

are you suggesting a place on PH to store noises or a thread full of links to youtube?

if it's the latter then I present to you, the Carerra GT from the Top Gear review:

Both sound fantastic! Especially the rally cars, in my ears, thanks for posting those! there's no way this should be closed though smile because we've yet to hear road cars. You can supercar all you want but 99% of us will never achieve them. I'd rather hear what a standard fast car sounds like, because all we get now is the usual 'listen to my loud exhaust whilst I do 10 MPH crap'.

I can't find a video on youtube of the sound a Jaguar's leather makes as you shuffle on the seat. That, and the muted howl of the 4.0 straight 6, is what made me love mine.

The sound of the drivers door shutting on the BMW 650i at the end of the day, happy knowing I don't have to drive it again till tomorrow.

The pops and bangs the old racer makes, that are loud enough to set off car alarms as I drive by.

Is that because you dislike your 650i or the modern motoring experience?

Probably the modern motoring experience.
I never feel like I'm in complete control of the car, the steering is so very remote. Yes its very quick but you have to trust that the car will go where you want it to.
