    Well, this is it. I think I've found the worst sounding ICE vehicle ever.

      It's called the LiAZ 677 and like all truly terrible vehicles it came out of Soviet Russia. It sounds like a streetcar somehow, despite not having rails or a telegraph or any of the other things that make streetcars make noise. It sounds like you could fit your hand into the engine tolerances.

            @essextee maybe you should search YT for Russian agricultural machinery before you reach any conclusions. Or for that matter, any older agricultural machinery...

            Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle.

                Where the hell does the irregular hollow pinging noise come from? Engines don't make noises like that. If it were just the one i'd say its broken, but all three examples make irrational noises.

                Edit: watching the third video again, the pinging may be the compressor for the air brakes.. It still sounds wrong, but makes some sense.

                        Counterpoint: sounding like a set of badly out of tune cymbals and wind chimes isn't inherently a bad thing, though that engine definitely is.

                              The belt slop is enough to prevent mechanics from working on the engine while it's running. Soviet safety feature.

                              Should I look forwards or backwards in life? Well, where's the engine?

                                This article suggests the pinging to be something transmission related "like the sound of empty bottles" which really just poses more questions than it answers.

                                  Sounds like if I built an engine out of folgers cans and fence posts and miraculously got it to run. Amazing

                                        Sounds like a bunch of flags on flag poles in the middle of a hurricane. I guess you always know when the bus is on its way.

                                          7 liter V8 making 180 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque, 6.5:1 CR (what is this, paraffin?) and a bore:stroke of 108:95. Very odd combination, high toque low power with an over square low compression engine. No replacement for displacement, and obviously very long lived being they stopped making them in 1994 (CKD until 2002) and they're still in service today.

                                            @jawzx2 I can't find much info on it because Soviet but it seems to have a hydromechanical transmission that's often described as having "the sound of empty glass bottles". That phrase pops up a lot and seems to have been possibly a nickname for that bus model.

                                                    I don't have video or sound bite, but I had a security truck, a 97' Chev s10, that was soooo bad, people would say "I didn't know S10's came with a diesel!"
                                                    It was a 4 banger. Also, it was a disaster of a 'truck'.

                                                    89' E30, 82' E21, Thrustmaster t300rs. Slow in, fast out.
