Formula 1 cars make the best sounds on earth. There's nothing more aurally pleasing than hearing an F1 car hit its five-digit redline as it goes down a straight before reaching a turn and banging back down through the gears, just to do it all over again.

Of course, I'm not talking about the muffled, V6 turbo cars of today's F1, but rather, all of the past cars that we've had the pleasure of hearing over the years.

My favorite? Probably the BMW Williams FW25. It's the one with the 3.0-liter V10, and it sounds incredible. The engine doesn't really sound like a normal V10-it's more like a trumpet full of angry bees ready to pierce your eardrums the second you're within earshot.
