A B-25 starting up for me (que first scene of Catch-22...), the whine of the inertia starter, when meshed it starts out as a bucket of bolts being kicked, then a few cylinders catch on and slowly the rest decides to join the posse.

Having stood within yards of those exhausts to get chocks and external power clear it is a wonder I still pass the hearing tests
