Best sounding/loudest chainsaw

[bryanr2]

IMHO, loud does not equal good sounding.

For me, the sweetest sounding saw on the planet is the Solo Twin, as I already mentioned. The raciest sounding has to be a screaming, ported 372XP. The sweetest idle goes to either the 288 or 166. They sound quite similar, in my limited experience.

that's a good summation.

I would have to agree that the 288 sounds freakin' awesome at idle. And there is something about the wail of a good running 372 that does it for me. But every time I fire the ported 390xp up I get all giddy.

i see the novelty hasn't worn off yet 390's are pretty sweet.

I'd have to say the loudest would have to be an old Mac or Homie.

I'm quite fond of the idle of an L65 husky.

That 166 sounds like a drag car!

SOLO TWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The solo twin definitely sounds the best to my ear becausee it reminds me of a yamaha banshee, also twin cyl, It has a balanced sound for lack of a better word, I also like the sound of my pro mac 850 pounding away at idle

I'd have to say the loudest is a Husqvarna 3120XP. The muffler often rattles loose when running it on our Alpine Magnum grinders and it can be heard from half a mile away or more. I love the whistle of a Stihl 660 or 460

I like the sound of this one idling...

Solo twin, 166, Poulan 5200, 372 and 7900 are among my favorites.

The Mac 10-10s sounds pretty good I think, what I think an "old timer" saw would sound like (unfortunately was buried in a flood, need to try and get it running again).

A bit noisy, but I do like the sound of this one working hard...

Music to my ears, but hurts so good. When pointed in wrong direction.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Those dang macs like 10-10 are ear hurters.

For idle I still like a 166. Sounds like a big loping cam.

Don't know about the loudest or best sounding saw they all give me a headache am over saw's.. But have to agree on the whistle of a Stihl 066/660 (am talking Aussie spec) you get that sweet spot with the tune = high pitch whistle ha, that combined with a sharp chain ya be getting **** done! a true work saw without being the loudest or the fastest just a never say die saw nuff said really...

Loudest is a Homelite Super XL Automatic. Best sounding is my Pioneer P41. Very nice tones with that one.

Those super xls are loud and sound pretty good. Had one that I bought for my grandpa when someone stole his previous one then someone stole that one from me. If I ever got it back and found the guy that stole it I'd tie him to a tree and piss rev it next to his ears.

Don't know about loudest, but MY FAVORITES are, Poulan 5200 and Husqvarna 2100.

298 at idle sounds like a real dirt bike or a high cam hot rod .
