I think someone on this list once described it as "the sound of serious work getting done." I agree that it's a nice sound, once you've gotten used to it. I always thought the 2.0L aircooled flat four in my VW Bus had a particular music to it, as well, even if other people have compared the sound of that engine to everything from a metal stamping plant to a keg of nails being rolled down a staircase. ;) With any engine, after a while you learn when it sounds "right," and that sound takes on a pleasant association. Any change it it draws your attention.
