Loop of a diesel engine that i'm planning to use in a game i'm making. Created with audacity from scratch (starting from a fire sound effect also built with an audacity plugin).
Sound of a pickup truck. Keys jingle, door shuts, starter click, engine turns over and sits idle, tires roll over gravel slowly, then truck drives away. Normalization applied.
This is a short clip of a chainsaw starting up, idling for a few seconds, then being revved up to cut a small log for a few more seconds before idling again. Contains idling and revving of a single-stroke engine. Recorded accidentally with an iphone in a pocket, so it's slightly muffled.
This recording is the engine starting and idling of a 1980s ford ltl 9000 diesel semi tractor. In the middle you hear the truck door slam shut. Recorded with a rode ntg3 and a zoom f8 field recorder.
A recording of a harley davidson sportster from about 25 years ago. Used re-20 mic running to a symentrix 528 mic pre. Includes engine starting and idling with occasional revs. Then the engine is shut off.
A double csx engine, idling. . . As captured from the 8th floor of my very large, very concrete home. . . Via the builtin isight mic on my 2009 macbook.
