Can my V8 please sound like a race motor rather than a kirby vaccum?

Thank you Flavourlicious, the first video is quite cool, but the sound seems different from the GT3 car though. Too bad

 

So guys, I tried to make a new cockpit sound for the Camaro GT3 using some videos found on the John McIntyre facebook page.

Unfortunately, the result wasn't satisfying, so I'm afraid we're stuck with the bad Camaro sound for now.

Sincerely sorry for that

 

Well, the videos available on the net are posted by the teams, I don't think they can provide some much better material unless they rent some professional equipment especially for that

 

Yea, it's a great video that I carefully stored in my YT playlists, hoping that we would add this car to the game (unlikely but....)

 

I think we will hear more and more great sounds in other games and it's a good thing for all of us. Car sounds in racing games finally got the attention they deserve.

And that's one more reason for us to keep improving the sounds.

I 'm not allowed to say much about it yet, but be sure the team is working hard to offer you the best audio experience, now and in the future

 

Yea, these guys are amazing. I wish we had the same budget and as many sound designers/programmers, that really makes a difference here.

I'm really looking forward to show what our "small" team can do though

 

It will probably happen indeed, but for some reason it makes me sad and the concept sounds a bit ridiculous.

And that's without considering the technological barriers that will prevent these sound mods to be loud (externals) or then they'll be extremely expensive.
Good sound systems are usually heavy and cumbersome but I guess some innovative manufacturer (like Bose ie) could bring some solutions.

Still, I can't remove the "fake" factor from my mind.

And anyway, when you look at the people who buy sports cars and supercars nowadays, they certainly don't buy them for the noise as most of these cars are pretty silent, excepted maybe a few Porsches and Lambos. Then, I don't see why these guys would install such sound mods on their electric or hybrid cars. I guess they will simply keep the original "no-sound" of the car, as most of the electric and hybrid cars owners are doing now.

If a market opens, it's probably going to be small or it would already be important nowadays with petrol cars.
I think we need to accept that nice and loud car sounds are from the past and that there will only be shapes to admire.
Hopefully, historic cars will still race for a long time, but modern motorsport will probably not provide loud cars anymore, you can already count them on a single hand

Now for racing games, this is clearly a problem. Capturing the external sound of modern race cars (rally cars too) is becoming more and more challenging. I had a perfect exemple in Silverstone with the new GT3 cars. Damn, they are so silent that you record more of the wind than the engines. The Huracan is the only exception but for how long will Lambo stand without turbo...
I guess we will end up with silent racing games with just a small electric whine noise and some wind breath .

 

This already exists!

Back in Belgium there was this BMW event at the Mettet track. The M5 diesel throws sounds through the speakers when you're on throttle.
