While flicking through the channels, I landed on a drama where the main character rides up on a "1100 Griso," as described by another character. This other character proceeds to diagnose a "clogged air filter," removes the seat, and pulls out a flat panel air filter, which he knocks against his hand and re-installs.
When the first character starts the bike, it sounds like . . .
Wait for it . . .
An inline 4 cylinder. :rolleyes:

Kinda reminds me of the "Airplane" movies where they had "propeller" background sound effects for a jet airliner. But that was a deliberate joke!
What show?

Yeah, in Airplane the engine noise was a running joke throughout the movie.
I think the TV show was Numb3rs. I recognized some of the actors, although I didn't watch the show when it was new.

Kind of like the old TV and movie westerns where the hero had at least a 20 shot "six" shooter that should have been loaded with only five rounds.

Heaven help me , I actually saw that , there was another bit recently where a Harley sounded like a 4 cylinder . Just the opposite of how the prop 4 cylinder Japanese bikes all sounded like Harleys for years .

For years, airplane movies had flying wires screaming as they were diving/crashing/whatever. There are no flying wires on a DC3, folks.. :rolleyes:

How about squealing tires on gravel roads?

The simple answer to "why?" is because the sound editor has "stock" recordings of 4-cyl motorcycle engines already sitting on his computer but the proper sound of a Guzzi engine would have to be recorded so it's much easier/quicker/cheaper to just use what they have.

Always amused to hear a tv dirt bike sounding like a Harley. I've learned that most folks don't notice. :laugh:

I only wish I could fix my Guzzis by cleaning the dust from the air filter.

Is it too much of a stretch to just go with the sound of the actual bike ?
