Surprised nobody's mentioned it so far - has to be the Bell JetRanger for start up. That initial starter whine increasing in frequency, then the hint of power whoosh as the turbine lights off when the fuel goes in, somewhere around 15% N1 if memory serves......... so evocative, best savoured with headset off and door open, at least up to ground idle.
