That unmistakable exhaust note

[Boomer 87]

I just test fired a homelite super xl ,"old blue" that I got from a couple super guys on here. As soon as I fired it up I thought "o ya that's a homelite super xl" I don't even need to see it, I can tell by the sound alone.

So got me thinking what saws do y'all have that if blindfolded you would know right off the bat what it was. The other one I can think of outside the super xls/xl12 is the poulan 4200/5200 has a pretty unmistakable sound through that big ole outlet. What say yee?

Dual port on the old 038 has the classic Stihl music. Would love to try the west coast triple if I could find one.

VL/EVL series Echos. 701/702/750/1001. Most unique idle and "whistle" when throttling up. Don't know if the videos quite capture that unique sound. My ears have been abused.

Cool thread Boomer 87. Judging by the responses, it seems saws are as distinctive in their sounds as they are in their appearance. I remember when I first got my Stihl 036 - the first time I fired it the sound instantly grabbed me. It reminded me of listening to the local logger back north many, many moons ago. Unmistakable and music to my ears.

Another unmistakable sound comes from any of the power products engine saws. That "muffler" they had made you think they could shift the earth off it's axis lol.

They had one nasty thump!

2100 Husky, anyone that has had one in their hands understands.

Several distinctive sounds:

Older Husky like 65/77/480
10 Series Macs
Older large cube Mac
Mid size Homie like XL
Large Homies

Since I've had the Poulan the longest and have run it the most, I know how it sounds. If it doesn't sound like that one, it's obviously the Echo.

I've got a handsaw, bow saw, hacksaw, and a skil saw that I would know if blindfolded.
I've got some gimmie saws, Crapsman, Poulans that I don't like to look at even though they run ok. I keep them separated from by Stihls.

And yes the EZ homies have their own sound.

I probably enjoy the sound of the 10 series the most. Billy Ray had a Homie XL on one of his youtube videos (think it was a 101) and that really sang too.
