Maybe HD will make a recording of their standard sound, and then play it through some speaker on this bike. After all, recording is another way of reproducing the sound.
Yes, but if you wanted the sound of straight pipes, it might actually reduce the already abysmal range even further.
My bad - it appears that HD withdrew its application - however - HD's lawyers insist they retain the trademark rights to the sound even without it being registered.

Which is, of course, marketing, or yet another way to enhance the co-dependency between company and its weak-minded customers.
All American consumers are in one way or another, weak minded. Harley's just obviate themselves by wearing a sh!tload of denim and drinking beer by the keg
I assume it is muscle-car aficionados that assume sound is always an indicator of engine machismo. It would be interesting to do a blind comparison of sound between a well-regarded muscle car and some supercar. I have to wonder what the results wold be.
Believe it or not, Harley installs a lower lift, shorter duration cam on one of the valves in their Sportser engined, to reduce the "lope" of the engine at idle. (The engine has a separate cam for each valve). The first step in souping one up, is to install the "4th peak cam".
Then again, a wrench in the works would be to throw in the sound of some high-performance EV.
And what would that be, Musk's newest "update", the fart track from, "Blazing Saddles"?
I have speakers, but only turn them on when I specifically want to listen to something. I have not done it, but the obnoxious windows sounds can be turned off.
I know, I found how to do it once. However, I couldn't find it the other night when the "double doink" sound went off every time I picked up the keyboard. Maybe I was too annoyed to be rational.
As I see it, there are key multiple keys to that including production values and having enough power to reproduce the source music without distortion. Its amped-up distortion, AFAIK, that will damage ears.
All loud noises will damage your ears. You just have to "pick your poison", so to speak.
Here's a sample of one of the cleanest ever, IMO, recordings.
Hm, about "Pink Floyd"/ Early Floyd really was just stoner music in its early years. Roger Waters is in his own right, a monumental waste of studio time. Very early "Floyd", was really Waters making odd ball noises in the background, so that a bunch of potheads could sit in front of the stereo and try to figure them out. His solo releases followed that formula to one degree or another.
"DSotM" managed to stay in the Billboarf top 100 for years. However, the album that clinched their legend was, "The Wall". While Waters had a huge part in it, David Gilmour established himself as the voice and consummate melodic power guitarist. His solo on "Comfortably Numb", peppers the web with versions, covers, and tutorials on how to play it, along with how to get his guitar sound. Which incidentally involves a crap load of distortion and delay. Some people got into "The Wall" and never came back. In my case, I think it's their best album, but never was at the top of my "got to play once a day" priorities.
I break out in hives when I am exposed to these music genres.
, Hm, I'll have to check my skin next time Homo erectus drives by out front with "explicit" rap playing as loud as it can go. (I'm allowing for the power amp clipping at at least 50% in that assessment).
The most ironic in all of music is the fact you need to find the cleanest and loudest stereo you can find, to accurately reproduce the gross amount produced by pedals and amps in modern music. (for decades in reality). BTW, did you know that musical instrument amps are probably the major reason. vacuum tubes are still in production. They "break up on power amps, and produce gross amount of
"harmonic distortion", which people quite unknowingly, find very pleasant.(Intermodulation distortion is another matter entirely, ow my ears).
Interesting music, however, I would not make it a staple. I do appreciate it when an artist interprets the classics or finds a way to express some wisdom in their work. In fact, that is typically what I consider among the best of musical compositions
Well first, those two examples I posted were sort of more "power", or "progressive".metal, not truly "symphonic" metal, (They do tend to split hairs within the metal genre as a whole)
Though the quality of this particular YouTub recording is severely lacking (the original is significantly better) here is something to tryI suspect that this might be too tame for you, though, so be sure to set an alarm to wake you at the end.
It didn't put me to sleep, as I listened to it while I was posting this reply. I may have nodded off a bit, but we'll blame that on my not finishing my breakfast coffee
The whole "metal fetish" I'm experiencing my be me going into, "my second teenager-hood", prior to the dreaded "second childhood" phase.
However, I couldn't abide the first wave of heavy metal at all/. Despite his proficiency on the guitar, I never have, and never will, own anything by Van Halen, Metallica, Slayer, ad. naseum. In fact, they drove me to country during the 90's
The modern metal I embrace, is much more melodic, heavily orchestrated, and very often fronted by opera trained sopranos, such as Floor Jansen, who was showcased in the Evergrey track I posted. (BTW, she's a vocal coach in her spare time). So, "opera metal" maybe? (It's that hair splitting I spoke of earlier.
I have however, (for better or worse), been around for decades, and picked a few other musical listening habits along the way. Here's some examples:
Al Stewart takes 10 minutes to sum up the German invasion of Russia in WWII (70's)
Along with their defeat and expulsion.
David Cousins with "The Strawbs", extrapolates today's "opiod crisis", with Homer's "Iliad":
"Heroin" plus a trailing "E" equals "Heroine". But I'm sure you knew that).
Loreena McKennitt Now here's a musician I could never convince a bunch of "pop heads" was any good.
Maybe I'll have better luck with you. Here she puts Alfred Noyes' "The Highwayman" to music. I think this track was recorded at the Alhambra. but not sure.
Well, you did say you loved the classics
Here's true "symphonic metal" A home made video puts scenes from "Game of Thrones" to "Within Temptations'", "Let us Burn"
