A good inline 6 should purr. Boxer motors have a kind of 'chunter' if you ask me. A good kind anyway.

The Jowett boxer engine has distinct mixture of a 'poppy burble' about it

5 cylinder lumps (well the Audi ones anyway) have a slightly off-beat burble, which can sound a bit V8-ish. Nice.

A sweet running in line six sings when cruising and screams as it approaches the limit.

V8's - Only a cross plane burbles - flat planes not so much.

My inline 4 kind of randomly splutters. Not sure if that's a common sound... But I guess they all have a kind of reliable throaty gurgle.

I was working at a place last week where a guy started up an Aventador in the showroom and gave it a few revs. It sounded like an F1 car in the pits at Silverstone!

Great little thread.
I always thought 5 cylinders warble. And my dad who is not a car person thinks 6 cylinders purr but I kind of agree with him 👴
Now then, what about 16 - I have to say all I can think of when I hear a Veyron is not enough noise!!

Asking for an 11 year old I’ll tell you exactly how you describe a flat 4.... sh1t, that’s how. All of em’ but particularly scooby’s, horrid things, sorry. |
