I mean on "Voll Fahrt" (Full) and "Äusserste Kraft"(All Ahead Flank) the Diesels should have a higher frequenzy... they sound a bit like an tracktor...
Have you seen the movie "Das Boot" when they just got surfaced after that disaster at Gibraltar and head home... when Johann the Machinist is in the Diesel Room and the Diesels are running.... thats the frequenzy

You're absolutely correct about the diesels sounding like a tractor. I reckon that's where Chris/Einbecker got them from originally! They don't sound anything like UBoat engines.

Excellent point about the Das Boot engine room sequence. Will have to dig out the DVD and have a listen.

However, for anyone who doesn't want to start ripping sounds from DVD, I'd mention that I've got some recordings made in a UBoat (according to the BBC).

These include a diesel engine start and run up to cruise speed at snorkel depth.

If there is any sound whizz-kid out there who could use it, feel free to drop me a pm.
