Now, I'm not into the fake sounds either, but it certainly made me look twice and was very convincing.

Dear me...

Not sure if I’m alone on this but we used to find those discarded wooden ice-lolly sticks on the floor and wedge them in such a way as to brush against the spokes on our bicycles (mine was a red Raleigh Striker). Kinda sounded like a V8 and we thought we were the bees-knees!! Oh how I laugh now...
