    i swear they used the sound of this engine for the alien machines in the war of the worlds film
  • This is by far the best music I've ever heard. 15 years in the US Army and it will wake me up from a dead sleep. Love it.

    Sounds like my PC when I boot it up and launch a game.

    how I miss being on the tanks...This was my favorite sound to start my day at the office. Best Job I ever had.
  • @mrtravdawg
    Perfect wake up alarm on the phone! 💯👍

    I love that semi-enthusiastc "clear" - you'll know who is completely fed up with this tank stuff.

    Ahh the famous "bitch" plate. God only knows how many bolts fell into the hull. We went to the hardware store in Hinesville and bought them for about .60 ea. The Government paid 100% more.That was back in 1988.

    More Abrams tutorials like this and we can fully operate one.

    Sounds like a Star Wars speeder bike awesome 👍
  • 4.5 years in M60A1's and then 2 years in M1A1's I never could get used to the way an Abrams sounded at startup
  • @pxtshxp
    Fun fact: someone named Raf who is currently working on a War of the worlds game (2024) used this sound for the heat rays powering up and edited some of the clips
  • sounds like my 1971 Dodge Charger's AC System kicking in for the first time since last August. The air conditioning system is all original from 1971, never been replaced, so 50 plus years of use sounds like a M1 Abrams starting when you turn on the AC system in the Charger.

    This was the sound used for the movie war of the worlds (2005) directed by steven spielberg. The sound effects team used a interior version of this sound effect instead
