It probably had a metal roller on wood rumble sound. The machine was on a wooden rail with a couple of bicycle hubs, one attached to the front skid and the other on a heavy unattached cross beam in the back that was left behind at takeoff. Probably these sounds were mostly drowned out by the engine noise. Looking at the design, the engine would have been louder than we have it, and without a throttle it only ran more or less full rpm once started (about 1200 rpm). Paul Beardsley had some sounds he used, I can take a look at those and check to see if he'll let us use any of them. IIRC there wasn't much that we would need except maybe a slightly more realistic engine.
