the avro shackleton is contra-rotating rolls Royce griffons, its just as loud as the turboprops
being a direct drive gearbox im guessing its got the same howl as a Mu-2, Fairchild Metro, or a Commander 690
Not really, actually it is a low frequency rumble, there are a number of videos on You Tube that you can watch, try this one for starters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-2dfEc70gU
Likely so, with the addition of a serious roar produced by huge contra-rotating props. I'm willing to bet that it induces some sort of harmonic vibration in your fillings.
No more fillings, I had the whole "keyboard" replaced long ago (LIMAO)
As did I, but I remember when .... LOL
How can you say that about the Texan, wonderful sound coming from propeller tips ablaze breaking Mach 1 specially when diving. Another beautiful sound is given by most R-2800 driven planes i.e DC-6, CV440 (both muffled by the exhaust pipe). I can´t wait to go to Canada and get on board Buuffalo's C-46s, same R2800 engines but totally different sound; they tell that afer a couple of take offs inside the cockpit enduring the unbearable roar plus all rivets vibrating out of this world you need to see an ear doctor. Can't wait. And I agree sith you that the P-51(and the P-38 too, mind you) pulled by the wonderful Allison engines emit a beautiful sound.
