What is a noun to describe the loud sound the engine of a super car? Also, I need a word similar to "hubbub" or "rumble" in the second blank which means the continuous sounds in a busy city street.

It's usually roar.

Also, I need a word similar to "hubbub" or "rumble" in the second blank which means the continuous sounds in a busy city street.

You might look up synonymns for noise. (You've asked about that before.)

This it the first time I've seen supercar and superbike. I guess they're words.

American bikes tend to sound low and loud. If you want to hear some, go to YouTube and enter Harley.
