Why do people think that rotaries have the best sounds?

I don't know if they're the best, but they can get quite loud which is nice.

Rotaries are too buzzy and I don't really care for the tone. This on the other hand, is glorious:

I think rotaries sound like 2 stroke weed whackers. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of the engineering behind it, just not the buzz behind it.

Rotaries sound like a bee-hive at full-pissed. Horrible.

I'm sorry but did you say this sound isn't awesome?

There are so many awesome engine notes out there, and while I can see why people would love the insane rasp of a rotary engine, I'm more of a throaty beastly note person. Here are a few examples.

The muscular sound of a V8:

Or.. one of my all time favorites:

Or maybe the smooth powerful sound of a V10

But if you are into the jar of angry hornets sound of a Rotary.. maybe the rasp of a v6 will do just as well.

Or maybe the refined sound of a inline 6.

Heh, I could go on and on and on.
