The MTU's scream mainly because the soundproofing on the supercharger is wearing down. On FGW HST's, some of the MTU's have been running since 2005 and havent had their soundproofing replaced
-
I think the mtus will all scream after a while. Ive seen videos with mtus in the hsts and they actually screamed. Prolly have to be used to for a while first.

The MTU engines that have replaced the Paxman Valentas.

Looks like FGW went to the Germans for support.

R.I.P FGW Vals, you shall be missed. Thanks for this great video, brings back alot of memories for me.

The whine of the Valentas was great, but then I do quite like he MTU throb - a bit like a Trans-Am.
-
you've captured the sound really well. Good work.
