You hear all the time when you pilot your Mech. As I still haven't tested them all yet, I was curious to know which were favorites, and those who would need to be tuned because they are annoying.

Think Idle and Full throttle.

At first I thought the Griffin's engine was very distracting, but then I got used to it and I enjoy it's uniqueness.

Easily, the Jenner is the best.

However, the Commando's whizzing is fairly distinct.

I don't know, but there seems to be a bug while spectating. If you spectate a spider, all 'mechs you spectate will use its engine noise.

This.. quite annoying. Even when the mech is standing still, you hear the Spider whir.

Griffin is my favorite engine sound and I like the torso twist noise it makes as well.

Cicada is probably my close second favorite when it is going full tilt, lives up to it's namesake.

so the sounds are all the same across the board for that mech? doesn't matter the number right 300, xl, std, etc, etc?

Not engine sound but when the Atlas moves it sounds as if its moaning metal frame is bending tortured each single step.

I really like how the Atlas sounds when it moves.. it makes it feel like.. well, an Atlas.
Giant, lumbering, struggles with every step.

Huh, I thought that metal sound when walking was the sound the shoulder bounce on the model makes.

Closed Beta the Centurion had a very distinct sound, you could always tell when one was near

Awesome engine, best engine. To me it sounds like caged lightning, which is then gloriously uncaged when fire at the enemy.

How long has the Atlas been without an engine sound?
I never hear it running, just servos going when pivoting around.

Blackjack. Sounds like so many of the units from Activision's Battlezone, which came out before MW3. I love it.

It does have reactor sound. It's just very quiet.
