Dunno about Mercedes, but the Canadian Orenda engines sounded quite like rotax engines when they started up and shut down. Once they were running, they sounded just fine.

I am reliably informed by someone standing next to me and reading this post over my shoulder that the Vimy never had Merc engines on it - 1st Chevy engines, then BMW and now Orendas.
