I've heard that sound before.

Compare: Jaguar "designed sound"[1] with a U.S. Army M1A2 turbine powered tank starting up.[2]

(I once considered using that sound as a boot-up sound, but decided it would get annoying after a while.)

Some of the sounds coming from the tank sounded to me like a vacuum cleaner. I guess a Vulcan would be overkill:
