what engines noise that you can't stand
 

the anti-thred of Turbo6bars thread


Viper V-10's I've yet to hear one that sounded "Right" it just doesn't do it for me. I do love it's power and all...but the sound of it is just not there for me

mazda's wankers

a close tie between trabant and citroen 2cv.

A flat air cooled six with a collapsed chain tensioner....a horrible sound!

full race ones sound ok, as long as you have ear plugs their "angry & nasty" like a race engine should be.

No far on failing parts on the engine sounds

straight pipe harleys. the sound of power being wasted.


and every moron with a VTX, V-Star, etc who tries to get their perfectly fine bike sounding like a harley

a Civic with a "bullet" (fartcan) muffler. (really pretty much any car that the kids are putting those stupid mufflers on these days)

Those loud, obnoxious harleys. I'd love to have a horn on my car loud enough to make those guys soil their pants.

any little 4 banger rice car with a coffee can exhaust...

potato, potato, potato good lord they're annoying!

Any 4-cylinder with a fart can.

+1 I thought it was just me.

The Quad 4 GM engine from the 80's. It sounded so rough, like it had no oil in it.

Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 cars. Obviously they tuned the exhaust system to achieve a certain tone but the combination of pitch and loudness just make them sound like a constipated Ferrari.

Add auto trans like the pencil neck kid on my block that has one big pimple as a head.

That loud thumping sound one hears right before a Rod is thrown through a block..you just know it is coming....Hubba Hubba that Old School Hot Rod Girl was Hot....Ohhh I thought you said the sound you LIke the most...my sorry.

Fart can on a 4-banger, no question.

Any Harley ever made.

Rotaries... Ugh!

Agreed. It's a sound reminiscent of a UPS truck. Quite terrible.

Nobody likes a wanker. I do know a few rallyists who like wankels though and they can sound pretty sweet with a straight pipe (and bloody loud when it gets ripped off on stage!)

Personally, I can't stand the riced up 4-bangers with their AngryBee((TM) fartcan exhausts.
