Technical What's that new droning noise?

What an interesting way to approach this. I'd never have thought to do this. Do take some pictures so we can all understand better how you're doing it.

Some years ago at an garage closing down auction I bought a case with all the professional kit to do just that, it wasn't wireless back then, but had four microphones and lengths of wire connected to a control box and speakers so it could be fixed to various parts of the vehicle and then you could isolate where the noise was coming from.
Sadly as I never used it I sold it on.

The sound effects on the Bullit car chase are amazing, they're dubbed on of course but who cares when they're that good! lol

Now if they used that on EVs to artificially make them sound like real cars...........
Mind you probably get a few more speeding tickets.

Nah, forget all that, Just listen to this:



Possibly one of the all time great engine noises!

Did you notice the fly off hand brake? wonder what an MOT tester would make of that today?

Did sound great, even though a very nervous driver, although not as nervous as I was, when a young apprentice around 1970 when after fitting a new metal brake pipe and unable to bleed brakes on the outside fixed ramp made it necessary to reverse it down a concrete slope, whilst pumping the brake pedal, unable to adjust seat to reach pedals properly and yanking the handbrake on only to find it was the "fly off" racing type and rolled the car over the edge of the slope so both rear wheels were hanging in fresh air whilst car sat on it's twin silencers!!!
The really nervous bit was explaining to my boss what had happened, fortunately for me we managed to get it back on the concrete using some planks of wood etc. the only damage was a couple of creases in the silencer boxes.
Sadly I never got to road test.
