I'll start: I love listening to the washing machine running. Relaxing, sounds like hard work I don't have to do. Looking forward to the clean clothes and nice smell! Sewing machine sound makes me all giddy. Sound of my 1988 car engine.

I find chain saws and brushcutters extremely annoying. On some days in spring and autumn I can get quite grumpy about it, even though I rationally know they also save a lot of hard work.

I love the sound of plenty of older performance engines such as an RB25 or RB26, 2JZ, 13b, old Ferrari V8s like in the F40.

A lot of the newer performance engines with these fast shifting auto boxes just sound like wet farts and have "pops and bangs" programmed into the ECU just sound like shit to me.

I know a lot of people hate loud cars but these 90s / 00s performance engines literally throw chills up my spine ans bring a tear to my eye sometimes. Just pushes some visceral button inside me.
