    Does anyone else think the engines in ADAC 2014 experience are too quiet? I just had my first serious drive with it and when I started in the pit lane I thought the engine was off! When I revved however I could see it was definitely on but at tickover I couldn't even hear the engine :eek:. I initially thought it was a bug but I checked another car and it was the same.

    I checked my volume settings in the options and the master etc was on 100% so it's not that. Once I'm running I can hear the engine but at tickover there is virtually nothing.

    Are the ADAC cars in real life really quiet or something? o_O

    Just checked live footage, its not that loud of a series, so I guess its realistic.

    They are definitely not quiet especially the BMW Z4 has a very loud sound and the Corvette and Camaro are not quiet either.

    How about to turn up your volume of your headset/sound system?
    When I race with the GT Masters my parents always tell me to put my volume down so it can't be that quiet. ;)

    In real life the cars are quite loud, but they aren't to quite in R3E. You just need to crank up your volume a bit. In general the sound in R3E might sound not so loud in comparison to other games. But that's a bit wanted to achieve a more realistic sound that doesn't clip due to to high volumes and while playing several sounds.

    I want more "vrooom" when i press the trigger to start the engine. There is mostly "nothing" to hear :-(

    TBH it's not the general volume of sound I'm complaining about. I would say that's acceptable. It's the tickover volume when you are either in the pits or when you pullover to the side of the track. I literally can't hear the engine at that point. It almost seems to completely disappear. To me it just doesn't seem realistic. I was just wondering, that's all.

    @Alice Margatroid Do you have a link I can see? I did go on Youtube last night but couldn't find anything that was good enough.

    Its a bit louder then the first video I found, but ya, just mess with your audio settings at it will eventually get loud enough. also double check your headphones, sometimes they are not plugged in all the way.
