I also like the stageII Buick stuff like my father is running. Required when you're making over 600hp but out of my price range. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JQ-UiRV_4M

An old wooden Chris-Craft (or the likes) with a flat-head or any full inboard marine for that matter as long as it's not an obnoxiously load twin engine job.
Joel Agreed. Our 312 Inty (425HP) in our 22' Chris sounded sort of like an Indy Car on steroids when it hit north of 5K. The whole hull resonated with the song of the engine, it was almost a biblical event. It had dual 3" straight pipes with flappers off a Shepherd on it.

My favourite engine sound is the EMD SD70ACe locomotive engines. They are a V16 2 cycle turbocharged engine producing 4300HP at 900 RPM. Love the sound of them when they notch the throttle up and the turbo starts spooling up!

I've cleaned up that mess, if you thought just the smell in the bleed air was nasty...
Surprisingly birds usually don't do much damage to the engine, they are considered "soft FOD" Tom: Very true. After we landed, one of the local A-6 squadrons was kind enough to have one of their guys scope the engine for us. Although there was blood splattered and smeared on the last couple feet of the duct, before the compressor face, and a few feathers caught in the inlet guide vanes, the engine itself sustained no detectable damage. I guess it just "digested" the poor guy, and incinerated any small pieces that made it through the compressor section. The other factor contributing to our good fortune was that the J52 is a straight turbojet (not a turbofan, as is so common today). Compared to a TF, the blades are all short and stout, and pretty good at enduring reasonably survivable FOD -- like soft, juicy birds. . .

i might be a bit different than the norm but ones that i have always been fond of since childhood. 1693 Caterpillar. At idle they sound like theirs a midget inside the block trying to break out with a mini sledge. But its a sound that takes me back to childhood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuvjHSWib0I I tried to find a video of a 3408 cat under load really hauling the mail but i couldn't find one that did the sound justice. 12V71 Detroit diesel Doing work has to be an honorable mention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfyIeO6zQBM

Big Block
Hemi or 454
Small Block
340 or 302, nothing like a high revving 340, would love to own another one.

The quieter the engine, the more I like them. I thought I would like the menacing sounding engine and exhaust in our Z4 but after a some time you get tired of all the ruckus.
So, the Prius up to 20 mph would probably be the engine sound of my choice, i.e. none but the electric hum. Blasphemy!
