Wake up in the sound of a V8 engine!

hehe. If you wake to an alarm, it might be better than the sounds most alarm clocks make. But my concern would be straining a muscle when I wake up, trying to hit the brakes.

I have a battery powered novelty alarm clock that looks like a real mean Army Sargent.When the alarm goes off it is Loud.It plays a bugle and it keeps on saying, WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! untill I push down on the pistol to shut it off. cuhulin

I'm with you. But-- If I did want to listen to an engine sound, I think the old 4-cylinder Offy had the neatest sound. Especially going from idle to power. At idle, especially cold, it sounded like a threshing machine (straight cut gear tower to cams), but it was music once warm and winding up.

There is, or was, a website about a guy who restored a World War Two Harley Davidson Motorcycle.You could click on a sound byte of the engine running.It sounds much like my 1914 Ford Model T car. cuhulin

That's nothing. Richard Hammond had one on Top Gear that did an F1 car - first on start up idle and then gunning it down a straight. Loud enough to make you jump for the outside kerb.

I have one that is a drag tree, and idle through the quarter will wake you up. KB
