Renault have tuned one of their Formula One engines to sing: "making an engine “sing” is a fairly simple matter of finding the engine rpm that generates an exhaust sound of the right frequency for each musical note. The engine management system of the dyno is then programmed to manage engine rpm and duration to 'sing the song.'" There's a sound sample at Autoblog. (Thanks Jason Theremin)

This reminds me of this: http://www.eggheaven2000.com/detailed/739.html ...where an HP scanner uses its motor to make music if you press the right buttons.
Not only formula cars, the McLaren F1 Supercar uses a 12 cylinder BMW egnine without the flywheel. 8 cylinders are actually enough to keep an engine running on its own.
