Nothing sweeter to me than PT6 turboprop engines screaming like banshee lightning, with the props well synchronized. Loud as a continuous bomb explosions on each wing.

PT^’s Blackdog? How about a couple of Garrets on an Aero Commander or a MU-2?

PT6? Oh, yeah, I do love them.

My personal favorites,

R-1690s, B-17

J-57s (eight of them on a B-52)

J-79s (on an F-4 Phantom)

J-58s (on the SR-71)

All distinctive sounds, best heard on takeoff from the flightline.

Me too...! Same engines... 100% 02 after lunch... Some of the best sleep I ever had. The hummm of a huey transmission and all the vibration was a close second.
