Posted a more detailed version under “Report New Issues” as it seemed more appropriate there.

Tire sounds seem to get far away over time to the point they aren’t audible at all. It started when I bought the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse. Then, it seemed like it happened to any car I drive. When I let all the tires hit the grass however, the issue goes away and I can hear my tires again temporarily.

Bug Info: Front tires get muted until they hit grass or sand, then get muted again after a few minutes. It isn’t consistent either. Some races it happens, other ones it doesn’t. But it lasts the entire race/session. Not track specific from what I can tell. Bug persists even after reinstalling the game. EDIT: Rear tires get muted a while after the front tires do. Just found out after completing a medium length Multi-Class race at Indianapolis Speedway GP Circuit.

Here’s a short video I recorded during a “Test Drive” race mode at Suzuka Full. Used max front brake bias to lock the front tires up and even muted the engine to make it as obvious as possible. Use headphones to hear the single tire I “unmute” by running just the right tire off the road.

Platform: Windows PC (Game Pass)
Edition: Standard with the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Add-On
Account: Solo Account
PC GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12gb Driver Version 566.14
Peripheral: Logitech G920 Racing Wheel and Pedals
Attempted fixes: Rebooted PC, reinstalled the game, updated drivers and toggled spatial audio to no avail.
Content Update: Started happening around the time the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse was released.

I’m playing on Xbox Series X too, and I’ve experienced the same thing. The tire squeal sound disappears, but it comes back when I drive on dirt.

Thanks for sharing the video! I was planning to report this bug as well, but it happens randomly and I couldn’t record it.

The same problem on Xbox series X.

Unfortunately, shame on you Forza… Always something.

Tires quiet during brakes, turns etc.

Really no one else notices this?

Vote on this one here. It’s more recent, better proof and in a more appropriate section as I initially thought it was just one car doing it. Sadly I can’t delete this one.

Happens for me EVERY race now and happens much faster. It has been gradually getting worse every day it seems.

The game is currently unplayable. Sad, because I bought a steering wheel especially for this game. This is pathetic.
