Bumfluff Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 The typhoon is great. But why does it sound like a two stroke lawn mower from the outside? C’mon! It was a 24 cylinder beast putting out more than 2000 horsepower! More grunt please. 1 1
Denum Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Where you are in relation matters, if you're on the ground you can hear it coming and it's spooky!
40plus Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 "Grunt" comes from large displacement, fewer cylinder engines. High cylinder count engines don't grunt. They snarl, whine, buzz. 1

blockheadgreen_ Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 The Typhoon and Tempest sound pretty spot on imo - they apparently sounded like ridiculously loud "sewing machines".
1CGS LukeFF Posted June 12, 2021 1CGS Posted June 12, 2021 It's a bit of a guess right now what the Napier Sabre sounds like, since the available audio recordings aren't great. Hopefully that'll change once the Typhoons being restored have running engines. 1 1

As mentioned, not many recordings of the real thing around, but the ones that exist indicate it was a buzzer rather than a roarer: 1
