That is one of the most beautiful man made noises one can hear. Simply amazing. The engineering that went into development of the turbine is fascinating!

@e081194eng wow, lol FAA didn't nail him for it?

Nothing worst than to do a maintenance operational check (MOC) and have your head next to the engine during start, and have fuel spray all over your face because of a fuel line not properly torqued !!! Or, have an oil pressure reducer installed backwards and have oil all over the engine deck !!! I had a mechanic notorious for this !!!

Those startup videos need be longer - all the way to wam-up idle imho.

No, the C20 engine has a special bleed valve, the engine shouldn't stall on start up unless this valve is faulty and may be stuck shut after a run.
