For me the worst noise ever had to be the sound of a con rod going through the sump (and right through the exhaust downpipe which is made of iron).
My second worst noise was the metal snap and grinding noise of a brake disk snapping as I started braking hard.
The most frightening noise was a spark plug popping out. It made a big bang, I lost compression on 1 cylinder and it sounded like the engine had been shot. Thankfully a new spark plug fixed it. (Must remember to tighten them up in future.)
What about you? Whats the worst noise your car has ever made and what were the implications of it?
