The newer they get, the quieter they get.  That can be good or bad, depending on your viewpoint.  I like them loud.  I like the sound of both the normally aspirated EMD engines and the earlier turbocharged versions.  I also liked the loud chopping sound of the engines used in GE U33-Cs when pulling wide open.  It almost reminds me of steam locomotives.   Speaking of musical tones, has anybody ever noticed that the basic musical characteristic heard with an EMD normally aspirated V-16 is a minor chord?  I listened to a lot of them before that thought ever occurred to me.   Just think about that the next time you hear one.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #323d4f; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Baldwins could sound pretty gutsy when they were working hard.  They always sounded kind of ify when they were notching up, kind of like they had a mind of their own and were not sure they were ready to go to work.
