Aircraft Sounds, your favorite

no.1 gotta be the GE CF6 (767 & 747-400), love hearing those babies spool up.
no.2 Continental 520 I.O (C210 full power on takeoff)

no.3 F-14 and F-111 (I think they have the same engines, but very whistly and loud)
 
I like the "chirp, chirp" I hear from the tires when I'm back safely on the ground, I know I've cheated death once again and get to talk about it.
 
The whistle that a Corsair makes when diving. Hence the nickname Whistling Death that was given by the Japanese.
 
I love me the sound of some TF-39's on a C-5. Ohhh yeah.

power comes up at 1:45


This one's okay... about 45 seconds in. It's also cool to see the mains' retraction sequence.

That video, taken at Westover ARB (KCEF) is right next to me. Those C5's turn crosswind to downwind over my house. I've had the hear that for the last 10 years. Its loud, you literally have to stop talking to whoever you're talking to.

It is a unique sound though!
 
I don't have a favorite just yet, but I can certainly tell you all that I have a worst. The worst is the Beechjet 400 with the Eclipse 500 right behind it. Freaking high pitched and extremely loud.

That is funny! I was just flying over there and noticed the c-5's sitting on the ramp.
 
A Boeing 777's GE-90 engine, especially at the beginning of a takeoff roll.... Nothing else comes close to how awesome it sounds.
