Boy..I know about combines. From the old pull type PTO driven to the self propelled. First self propelled was an ol JD with a little 2 cyl gas engine. What was even worse than the noise was of course...the dust. Harder on ya than smoking. As far as the airplanes..everything from a cub to helio Couriers to a flying boxcar. All those radials are loud. We still had Connies and Super Connies when I went to work in the fire dept. GREAT BIG radials. I think the worst for hearing are the turbo props..jet noise and high speed prop noise both. Did you get my message about the brass??
