I'm afraid you've all missed the only real option for best noise; the Alfa (Arese) V6!
;-) ;-) ;-)
More seriously, the Volvo 5 pot sounds Ok, though it needs a turbo to really prick up the ears. For the NA versions, a big part of it's disadvantage is you've got to wring it out before it becomes tuneful &, at least on my 2.5 20v'er, that's hard work compared to my Alfa 164 (IIRC :-( ), which throbbed just enough to draw you on before it sang from 3-7k.
