Horizons Favourite Ship Engine noise

This game has an incredible sound mix, from the system scan noise through to the weapons! I wish other games realised the importance of great game sound! It got me thinking what my favourite engine sound made by the game (in real life I love the sound of a great engine :)) and for me its a close run thing between the Vipers engine noise and the Eagles...
 
I like the noises from the hull that the ships make in supercruise. Especially in big ships it's a bit creepy, you think the hull around you is deforming while in supercruise^^ and the sound of the fsd....great experience^^
The sound from the hull if you make a very very hard 180 degree roll is also a bit creepy O:

Thrusters are the best from the ASP :)

The noises from the wheels of the SRV sounds really like stone/sand/snow. Great differences!!!
 
Too many, actually. to name just a few:

iCutter - slowly taking off the planet surface and accelerating - sounds exactly like the Enterprise rising out of the ocean in ST2. Pure eargasm.
iEagle - sounds like a Tesla roadster on steroids.
Viper Mk.IV - now that's just badass, let's admit it. Sounds like a werewolf pouncing on her prey.
FDS and FGS - quick deceleration - dat distorted rumble doe.
iCourier - Everything. It's just ridiculous.
Orca - see above
Hauler - does the engines actually run on souls of previous owners? That whisper is creepy. But cool.

For me it's, in this order:

Clipper boost sound
Viper acceleration from standing to 200, the rumble is awesome
Asp acceleration from standing
Vulture acceleration from standing
Hauler acceleration from standing.

All the audio in elite dangerous is        g amazing but those are my top ship sounds :)

Imperial Eagle sounds incredible and sometimes the boost reminds me of the engine sounds from the TIE Figher from Star Wars. (probably done on purpose because of the "Empire" thing, hehe)

The great things about the sounds overall, are all those little details like the metal noises and such.

This game for sure has the best sounds when it comes to overall details and fidelity.
