Well, a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped with my project.
(Before I forget, a couple of the files did not record clearly, so if you volunteered but you don't hear your engine here, I apologize.)
So on with the experiment...
While you can definitely tell
more difference when you are there in person, I believe you will hear 8 distinctively different engine sounds here.
I'll even make it easy for you -- in no particular order, here is a list of the volunteers' engines -- see if you can match them up with the sound files:
347 stroker, 542 Chevy - far from stock, stock 302, 468 w/nitrous owner,
429, 390 FE, 460 and a Cleveland.

Sound file 4

Sound file 7
Sound file 8
Of course, I realize that displacement, cam, exhaust and other things come in to play, but this was all for fun anyway. I came away with some favorites, but didn't get too surprised.
Have fun with them and see what you think!
