Fitted to a cyclocross machine for the next singlespeed race? :)

Nah, for a far more convincing (and free) brrm brrm noise, simply squash
a beer can lengthwise and place btw the rear tread and brake bosses.
Hard to pedal and the novelty swiftly wears off....

I've done that a few times "accidentally". You know, when you see a can
on the road and think "I'll squish that!", run over it and it wedges
against the fork.. grrrrrr rrrrrrr rrrrrrrr "Ah **** it! better get that
outta there before it kills my paint job!"
