Someone please submit the sound of a gasoline or diesel engine starting! It's perhaps more of a "deprecated" sound than obsolete, but I think it counts! I'd do it myself but I don't have very good recording gear

How big of an engine and how high quality?

Cool thing is you don't need very good recording gear, "inexpensive gear, used well" can do wonders. I agree those sounds are great, and I even (had) about an hour of them too, to share! but they're inaccessible right now due to a combination of disorganization and bad planning. :( And they're all 16 track recordings, so might be unwieldy ;-) I know next to nothing about cars, but love that one can use sound to diagnose and pinpoint problems sometimes.

  One audio track per cylinder is a bit of overkill... :-)

    Hahaha, true, true. (All the microphones allow me to pinpoint in where in space specific sounds are coming from. Next stop is a 64 microphone recording. ...)

These can be found on Freesound discussed elsewhere in this submission.
