All i want is when they add formula E cars they make em nice and loud like IRL. Those things engines hit 80dB which while isn’t ear shattering, its still way louder then every other EV car in the game.

I think we get a perfectly working game, before they add Formula E stuff…

Coming back to the topic of “common complaints on car sounds”, I really want them to redo cockpit sounds - it’s one thing for race cars to sound thin, flat or follow as they have striped down cockpits, that’s not how road cars should be sounding as they have sound deadening materials/insulation in cockpit.
Also, when you swap a road car with a racing V8 or any kind of race or track car engine, the cockpit sound automatically becomes flat and hollow. How did T10 figure that? Taking shortcuts as usual - just like FM7 where you’d put a “V8 racing engine” in a road car and the cockpit sound would become flat, hollow and tincan-like. It’s annoying and unrealistic beyond belief.

I want them to simulate this sensation through the weight reduction levels. Just how it is IRL. Been buggin them to do it this way for years.

All it will take is a bit of research and proactiveness on their part. I wish Dan Greenawalt had full control over this project.

This thread is so depressingly dead. No sound improvements in Update 10 apparently.

We need @Gojo665 to return from playing GT7!
Or an update from Turn10 on which will be the first vehicles to have the complete rework…
My money is on Gojo665 returning before that tho

Returning?
Hey where did he even disappear off to in the first place?
You gonna have to fill me in, I’m missing something here. I never see his feedback here anymore. Guy was always fun and willing to help to make the product better.
I think they got fed up, could be wrong but one day just stopped posting
This isn’t totally true. The dynamic range has increased again. At least it has on my dolby atmos setup. BMW E30, for example, sounds a good bit better. There hasn’t been any sample changes tho so that’s probably what you’re talking about.
I’m going to contact Lexus (SC400 owner) and BMW (130i owner) about the sounds of their cars in this game @Turn10

Reventon sounded good with the Race Exhaust (which just may be the stock exhaust with some filter changes). Not a screamer like other games, but fine for my ears. Stock exhaust sounds like every other modern Lambo V12 though.
Curious though, do people here prefer completely different sample sounds for the different exhaust types (like FH5 does for some cars), or the subtle differing sounds with one sample sounds (like FM4 does, I think)?
I was playing Project Cars on pc yesterday and the sounds are so much better. I could listen to the off throttle burble the AMG GT exhaust makes for hours in PC. FM just sounds… lacking.

Have you driven high HP cars IRL or modified ones? Have you pushed them to the limit?
Cars’ interiors should not sound thin, flat, and hollow - but they do in the game because the dynamic range hasn’t been tweaked properly. You’re supposed to feel the rumble, vibration, and oomph from the engine and exhaust, especially in cars with a good amount of sound deadening/insulation in cockpit.
I’ve talked to several people with some very expensive rigs about this - most racing games sound absolutely fine but not FM. They really have a long way to go before we can even say “dynamic range has been improved” or “sounds right”.
The midrange/front L & R speakers or subwoofer never “light up” like they should. Sure, the cars sound fine in external cam - some not all - but things change when you move to the first person views, they suddenly sound quiet, faraway and distant, which is flatout ODD as you are on the car (hood/bumper) or in the car (cockpit).
Play Assetto Corsa, The Crew Motorfest, Ride 5, Flight Simulator (fighter jets) or PCARS 2 to better understand what I mean. FM should sound just as good on a mid-tier sound system as it might on a really high end system. The more high end your system, the more glaring the shortcomings. It seems they primarily programmed the sound around TV speakers and basic headphones. The 5.1/7.1 sound stage is all over the place with car sounds specifically. Those need to be individually tweaked for a surround sound setup!
Absolutely 100% unique sounds with each exhaust upgrade. It bad enough as it is that we don’t physically see the exhausts changing, at least give us the unique sounds.
FM2 did this YEARS ago on the Xbox 360: we had unique sounds AND cosmetic changes to the exhaust tip. Imagine how silly Ride 5 would look with no cosmetic exhaust upgrades even though you just boosted your Fireblade with an Akra exhaust!
It is insane, mate! Both PCARS 1 & 2 have done a phenomenal job with the sounds. The development team is very passionate about cars, apparently, lol

They also had Ben Collins (Stig) working with them on it.

Ohhh… Ben Collins is nuts man! Not only his driving skills but he’s also a true car and motorsport aficionado.
We need an outsourced “expert” on the FM team who can help implement the improvements to sound and even advise on further tweaks and improvements to the physics and especially steering model/mechanics on controller at least.
I still want to gag and puke when I hear the modern V12 Ferraris - they are undrivable although what’s mind blowing is that they sounded absolutely FINE when the game launched - they were incredible, in fact, then the 812 sound got updated and that “wrong” and flat/hollow whiny sound got pasted to ALL the V12 Ferraris, including the Enzo, lol
It’s pathetic, hilarious, and sad at the same time
@Lens007888 @Speedster996 @opencamswrx We have a new case, boys!
The Reventon’s engine sound is wrong! Just like the Murcielago. The Aventador’s L539 V12 sound is copy-pasted once again.
It’s supposed to sound like a Bizzarrini V12, because Reventon is a limited production model based on the Murcielago!!!
Too bad T10 completely forgot what a Bizzarrini V12 sounded like.

Haven’t unlocked it yet but I’ll take your word for it.
Reusing incorrect engine sounds is a complete no no in this day and age, we get 6-12GB downloads a month so data isn’t an issue, plus if it was streaming services like Gamepass, Netflix, Prime etc wouldn’t exist.
If you are going to produce a racing game @ Turn10 at least get it on par with your other brother studio PPG or better yet don’t release any more vehicles without capturing the correct engine note… it’s a MASSIVE NO NO to incorrectly model or copy and paste sounds that aren’t correct to that model.
Why is it that the engine sounds in FM8 aren’t even second best to anything out there in this be all from the ground up end all title, it’s just embarrassing
If the community feels that it’s so far from what it should sound like and takes steps to contact the manufacturer that must say something should it not? We are passionate about everything racing and when it’s done wrong and continues to be released wrong even tho there is mention of a complete overhaul that’s like us having to take your word for it like No Promises when vehicles are dropped half baked.
TL;DR
Just don’t bother releasing Supercars and above without them sounding true to what they actually sound like in reality

Oh dear… that’s a wrong sounding Reventon for sure. Are they doing this to the FOMO cars out of carelessness or on purpose or something? It makes no sense. So, they want me to grind for hours and days… to win a car that souds wrong? Didn’t we have the exact same issue with:
- Murceilago?
- Cinque Roadser?
- Huayra R?
- And some of the other FOMO cars that I can’t remember?
That’s definitely an Aventador sound and not the Reventon’s sound. It sounds brilliant in FM4, 5, 6, and 7 - FM4 to 6 probably has the best sound.
This is getting ridiculous - ALL the modern V12 Ferrari and Lamborghini sounds as well as modern Porsche, McLaren, and BMW sounds need to be redone. Maybe BMW I can live with for now, but Ferrari especially, Lamborgini, McLaren, and Porsche need re-recording ASAP! Hate the fact that my favourite cars sound so wrong - they sounded SO good on the Xbox One FM games.
Can you please create a wrong car sound thread under the Car Issues sub-forum? I’ll vote it.
Seems T10 never learn from their mistakes.
