Noisiest Lift Hill Motor on a Roller Coaster

[CrashCoaster]

Bit of a random topic, but having ridden Infusion at BPB, I noticed the lift hill motor was stupidly noisy. Without a doubt the nosiest motor on a coaster I have ever heard. I then watched different POVs of Vekoma coasters, and they all had loud lift hills. What's the noisiest one you've heard?

Not the bit, but the ratchet dog on Firehawk at Kings Island is unbearable.

Yes, Firehawk's is absolutely atrocious.

Raptor at Cedar Point is BAD in certain seats. You can't even hear the person next to you in some spots.

Found this musical lift hill at Victory Kingdom in China.

While they are music to my ears, Arrow lift hills are loud as ****.

Corkscrews at Alton was the loudest I have heard. I liked it though it was kinda iconic. You could hear it across the valley in FV at times.

This doesn't count as a lift hill, but the launch on velocity at FL is also very noisy...

Taron's second launch... but that's not a bad thing

Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach uses a non-constant motor which turns on and then back off once the train is at the top.

It is terribly loud for only having to carry 4 people and a train that is suppose to be as ligt as a feather with its fiberglass and all.

The old one on Corkscrew at Towers immediately springs to mind... but Colossus at Thorpe makes me a pretty nasty noise.

Any one that has Robb Alvey filming on it.

Any version of Big Thunder Mountain at the Disney Parks, Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures and also B&M dive coasters like Oblivion and SheiKra.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Any one that has Robb Alvey filming on it.

That could go either way, Robb not shutting the **** up on the lift hill (he likes to produce sound), and/or the strain on the lift motor from his weight, putting in great effort to try and hoist his fat ass to the top.

If it's the right time of day, with the wind in the right direction, and if you stand in just the right place, I swear you can hear Kumali groaning "kiiilllllll mmmmmeeeeee" as it creaks another train to the top.

Gci is quite bad... Or at least Joris is
