During start, the GE90 produces some interesting noises associated with the transitions between the various configurations of the DAC (Dual Annular Combustor)(one ring vs. both rings).
They simplified the schedule before EIS, but I recall witnessing an engine start during development and the sound was not unlike a car going through the gears.
