What's the best sounding aircraft you ever heard?

The gentle purr of the Continental 6-cylinder O-300-D (145 hp on a really good
day) in earlier Cessna 172s, with my wife in the right front seat and our kids
sleeping in the back seat...

Ah, yes....

It was the sound of the engine as it hummed in my Sonrai. Of course I only
realized how beautiful it sounded AFTER it blew up in flight.

Bah! I clicked on the General Aviation bit and my heart
almost skipped a beat when I saw "Scottish Aviation".
Unfortunately, it was the Twin-Pin (Twin Pioneer) rather
than the Bulldog. Ah well.

Obviously dating myself...The B-36 with those six 4360's.

This came to mind when I heard a RAF VC-10K overflying my house at some
1000
feet AGL at full steam. What a sound! The VC-10 both looks and sounds
powerful. Also, the piston Yak-52 I heard a few days ago...unbelievable,
such a powerful and awe inspiring sound. The only thing I regret is never
hearing a DC-6 at full throttle; watching a documentary on ConAir
firefighting services today (on Discovery Science) I heard one pilot
remark
that those 76 cylinders at full power sound 'like a Hell's Angels
funeral'.

I said the same thing. It's a great sound.

Nothing like the true sound of freedom that the ole UH-1 Huey gives. I love
that sound.

Most Depressing sound: the sound of silence at altitude. When the wind
outside the cabin is making more noise than the power producers, it anit a
good thing.

Depends what you're in. When I'm flying a Blanik L-13, I quite like the
sound of the wind outside the cabin. Even better is the clunking and
rattling sound you get when you're in strong lift!
