Or does anyone else find the sound of a hit-and-miss engine oddly relaxing?

Seriously, I would not mind a white noise machine that plays this.

Yes, hit-n-miss engines are a joy to hear. Perhaps only second to a steam engine...

The noise and the smell...is soporific.

Very.

I love me some old engine noises.

Assignments at work have been taking me to the oil fields a bit lately. The engines there are quiet soothing to listen to, punctuated by the occasional gunshot-like backfire.

Mynoise.net has some really nice noise generators! But, related to your post (vaguely), they now have a really nice one for a car interior on a rainy day! You have to be a subscriber though, which costs just $5 for a lifetime - pretty good deal with all the nice other generators they have as well, I thought! I use it at when I am working at home.

Steam definitely trumps it, but not by a huge amount, I’d say.

I want to like the sound but I would never be able to concentrate on anything else because I’d be waiting for the next (unpredictable) pop.

That was more enjoyable than it had any right to be.

A local pizza/ice cream joint brings one out every downtown festival (there’s about 4 per year) near me, and I love walking past it and listing to it chuff along.
