Hi All,
With the exception of some forms of classical and other music, there is probably no greater sound to the human ear than the sound of a powerful diesel motor under full throttle … (with a torque converter). Thus said I thought it would be “different” to have a diesel sound as my mobile ring tone. Google is my friend here I thought. Over 1 million references to diesel ring tones. Alas how mistaken was I. Apparently there is some crappy tiny boppers band called diesel … and all ring tones apply to that. So does anyone know of a place where you can download diesel engine sounds to use as a ring tone. Methinks if there is a choice I will choose the sound of a slow throb of an old gardner diesel … LOL.
Cheers,
GPM

Try recording your own with the phone. I don't know if it will work but maybe hold it near the exhaust while someone gives it a rev. I recorded my ring tone at F1 GP this year. It sounds great but when I tried it at a recent round of the V8s I only got background noise.
Good luck. Stuart.

Yeah thanks Sturat - thats worth a try if there is no other option. I was hoping there would be a datbase of different diesel ones so you can download a few and change the ring tone occasionally.
Cheers,
Glen

just go to youtube, type in detroit diesel, find one you like, then go to dvdvideosoft which will allow you to install a program to grab a youtube clip, take the sound and you're done.
