Manmade sounds that bring you joy.

[RDY4WAR]

The sweet sound of a 500ci V8 screaming at 10,500 rpm.

 

[alarmguy]

Jet fighters screaming overhead.
The humming drone of my Harley Road King at interstate speeds.
The smooth silky hum of the boat engine at 3500+ RPM as the boat slices through flat water.

 

[Vil_Riker]

A train in the distance - just to be assured that there is civilization.

Otherwise, none except classical music.

 

[BHopkins]

Kettle drums being played.

 

[Inked]

Oh yea, and one more that I love

Does the “knife-hand” make a sound if no recruit is present?

I was gonna say 12v71!

In 1973 I was driving a 1970 GMC Astro COE with an 8V71 Detroit backed by a Fuller 13 speed transmission. I occasionally go on Utube just to reminisce about those two stroke screaming meemies!

 

[Inked]

An F-4’s afterburners at takeoff.
The lope of a carbureted Harley at idle. Even better when cam’d.
The sound of a suppressed firearm.
Kids playing.
Common sense when spoken without hostility or rancor.

Funny, the things I ponder in the wee hours of the morning by myself. In the solitude of nothing happening. Birds chirping, waves crashing, yeah, yeah, all great comforting and calming. Started thinking about what sounds are manmade that are like that. Then the ding of the coffee maker went off signifying a full pot of black heaven. I could actually feel the serotonin start to flow.

The start-up of a jet engine. The hum and warmth of the heater kicking on.

 

[Skippy722]

The sound of a 3 phase motor under load. Bonus points for going through a gear train…. A soothing whine.

 

[Hermann]

The sound of a properly played French Horn gives me goosebumps.

 

[earlyre]

it's the simple things for me....

 

[gfh77665]

The opening and closing bells at the NYSE.

 

[R18Civic]

The ugga dugga of an impact wrench. Battery powered preferred.

 

[Bottom_Feeder]

The sound of V-2 Ducatis, V-4 Hondas, and I-4 Yahamas, Kawasakis and Suzukis screaming through the trees down the long curved straights of old Hockenheim during the golden age of World Superbike racing in the mid/late 90's.

 

[4WD]

 

[Pew]

At first glace I thought that was a submarine and thought submarines have 600hp V12s now???

 

[slo town]

V12 Ferrari F1 engines. Start the video at 1:53.

I was gonna say 12v71!

As a kid in the early 70s, I loved to hear the fire trucks at the local house up the street respond in anger. All American LaFrances with 8V71s, the tiller ladder was even a manual! Coming to a stop on overun while on the Jake, they would give me goosebumps. Kinda like this one.

 

[ATex7239]

Intro to white zombies’ more human than human.

 

[Pablo]

The first song after you go through the expense and hassle of a new sound system
