I am oddly good at hearing engine noises. If a motor or piece of machinery starts doing something different I usually hear it. I worked in manufacturing and I could usually call out a machine that was about to breakdown. Also when a part has been replaced I usually hear the difference in noise.

    It's not necessarily that you hear more than someone else, but you have the experience to have trained your hearing to discern those sounds.

    It's something I also experience from my time working around machines. Works on all sorts of things.
