Those rotaries in race cars were so loud they had to put on mufflers. They were real eardrum rippers.

A race rotary at 10,000 rpm even with dual turbos is a screaming machine it’s a sound that one doesn’t forget. I have flown on a few planes that had rotary engines very loud when running up for takeoff.
