Louder aftermarket engine fans

So before anyone says anything no I did not spell the title wrong. I am looking for an aftermarket engine fan that is louder than stock. I love the sound the fan makes when accelerating. Yes I know this is not typically what people ask for but I haven't found anything online. Basically I'm wanting this thing to sound like a semi truck or a garbage truck.

Anyone have any suggestions? I kinda doubt something like this would be available but I figured I'd ask in case I missed something

Just find a way to lock the fan clutch. The OEM fan is quite loud when locked.

Then enjoy losing another 1-2 MPG with the added noise.

I forget why people don’t like recommending this fan but there is a reason.. One of the comments says it’s noisy so sounds like it’s right up your alley haha…

Flex Fan - 5VZ Flex Fan w/Billet Spacer Kit

Post a before n after video! I used to replace the clutch fans on the 3 455CID Buicks I had. I liked the extra airflow and removing the clutch from the list of things to fail. Those motors could spare the extra horsepower that were robbed to do so, however.

Edit - I recently went down a YT rabbit hole where these shop guys dropped a JZ2 Supra motor in a 95 4X4 T4R and got it putting out 1000-1200 HP (the motors have been pushed to 2000 HP apparently). They drove all night and day to a drag racing event, switched the ATs for slicks and ran in the 9s. Most of the drag cars were trailered there, but they pulled their trailer with the race gear with the 4Runner. LOL

Better yet use a smartphone app like NIOSH SLM to measure sound pressure in dB(A) from 3’ in front of the truck before and after. Then it becomes science :)

The big block mopars had a 7 blade direct drive fan. It moved air.

My 04 grand Cherokee with the V8 had a hydraulic powered cooling fan and it sounded like an airplane at max speed.

If you turbo it you can also fit a dump valve for a WHHOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHH TIIISSSSSSSHHHHHH duet.

I forget who it was but there's a user on here that was swapping a 2JZ-GTE into his 4Runner while also making it fully armored and reinforced - as is "removing all glass and replacing it with sheet steel, and removing/replacing all crossmembers". Ironically a 2J swapped 4Runner was my dream for a while - but I hate turbos and the n/a GE model wouldn't be much more to scoff at in a 4000lb SUV - a supercharger and 7th injector would be much better decision in that regard
It's kinda funny because 2J fanboys will all try and tell you that they're capable of 2000hp but coincidentally all of them will omit how literally every last part is custom at that level from the block up, to the point it's practically just a 2J in spirit. The blocks have been known to handle 1000hp on more than one occasion but even that's starting to push it; and the only way one can hope to achieve double that is with a billeted and bored out block, E85 conversion, bigger turbos (maybe even a 3rd or add a blower too), completely reworked valvetrain, bigger/custom trans, the full nine. At that point is it really still a 2J, if everything has been replaced and altered? To an extent that'd be like Rob Dahm trying to pass off his billet 4 Rotor as a 13B :shrug:

No argument there - there is nothing they didn't touch - it's a totally unrealistic one-off. Here is an early set of dynos they ran while they were approaching 700hp. Later videos a from couple months ago at the strip and they claim to be way over 1000.
