Such a cool piece of engineering.

There was a Tempest page based in Sweden with a downloadable sound clip but it looks like only the front page is available now on The Internet Archive.

I guess a 36.65 litre engine with 24 cylinders running at about 4000 rpm is a sound you would never forget

Here is a video, that I hope, would have the correct sound with it.
