Own Engine Sound too low!

Please T10, implement a possibility to change the loudness of your own engine sound. They are far too silent !!!
Everything else: lovin it !!!

Or better yetā€¦PROPER AUDIO SLIDERS rather than just a ā€œmaster volumeā€ slider. Why didnā€™t they just borrow the settings from FH2? Sound Effects, Music, Engine Volume, Tire Volume should be the 4 bog standard audio options in racing gamesā€¦rather than a single slider than goes up to 110 lol what is with that from FM5/6?

I agree that some engines sound too quiet, but some are also REALLY loud it seems to be hit and miss sometimes. So yeah, audio slider improvements is big must have though.

I think the reason for this is they have set the sounds to what they would be like in real life. e.g. the sound of the tires, engine and background noise are the same as they would be in that position from the car in real life. Also if you change your view the noiseā€™s
change to make up for the different position and distance from the engine and tires.

Man guys when he gets near other cars itā€™s so hard to hear the corvetteā€™s engine! They obviously enhanced these sounds because this isnā€™t realā€¦no way it can be realā€¦

Forza 3 had this. I canā€™t remember if 4 did. I think it did though. This needs to be patched. All menu noises and the woman that announces everything are really loud but my engine (the one thing I want loud) is not. WTH?

They could begin with giving a temporarly patch to put the menu volume to 0. That will feed my patience a lot because itā€™s just too loud after pumping the volume for compensating the engine issues,

Menu music can be set off, so pls put an option(for now) to put of the clanky menu sounds too.

I really wish we could turn that womanā€™s voice off. Itā€™s even worse than Benā€™s voice in FH2. Bring the voiceover guy back from FM4, his accent was so soothing.

No, nobody is worse than the voice acting in FH2. Actually its not the acting so much as the atrocious writing. Iā€™ve never heard video game characters fail so spectacularly at trying to sound ā€œhipā€ and ā€œcoolā€. Just stop. :stuck_out_tongue:

I agreed FM4 had it best.

Agreed too. I never purchased FH2 because of 1 thing. I bought FH1 and hated the difference in driving. I am almost 38 years old and still play in the same mode as in FM1 . In todays language that means option 8 in gamepad configuration and d-pad steering on. Manuel shift.
(wonder who remembers the analoge a and b button on the first X Box joypad. Best ever. Never got back!! A and b were pressure sensitive. I never got rid that configuration so now throttle is always full open and i have to ā€˜play with itā€™ .)

Sorry to make it such a long story. To be short. FH just didnā€™t implement this kind of steering and driving. Would buy it just for decaling and showcasing. All 'normal Forzaā€™s kept it. So thank you T10 for that at least.

Seems T10 innovating not where innovations neededā€¦leave sound from previous FMā€™s,its ok,or at least give us option to make sound we want - sliders
Make option to turn off womans voice since there are no other option
And finally - single player mode - T10 - you becoming another Polyphony - best single player was in FM 4,period
FM6 is good,but it could have been much MUCH better,of course,there is always FM7,but many peeps will be careful now with buying before they check if main ā€œingredientsā€ are ok - sound,single player etc ect
You better patch sound in next update

After the patch little things got a bit better. For the rest i just pump up the volume. And indeed. If you do that, the menu sounds are just too frakkin loud. The balance is just not there yet.

So, T10. Even with the issues i am playing half of the game. I like it a lot but i want to enjoy the full game.

Yesterday i put in the Witcher 3 and they came with a 16GB patch. So say it with meā€¦ ; yes we can too! I am patience if i knew there was some work in progress.

vroeeeeoeoeoeoem,ā€¦

YES!!! Multiple seperate audio sliders times 10000%. I just went from the screaming Veneno to the GT350R, and it sounds like a kitten purring comparatively.

I seriously have not noticed a difference with all out exhaust and stock on. I actually rolled back a bunch of mods to meet class and left just the race exhaust to see if this would solve problem, but it didnā€™t. Iā€™m very disappointed I canā€™t hear my own engine sound. Forza 5 engine sound was fine volume, whatā€™s going on, why this changed to worse?

buy an exhaust!

Great, but then you usually go up a class.

This sounds issue is a big problem for me too, as i play in cockpit view. Iā€™m using the sound to change gears, and yesterday in Leagues, it was even worse because of the no-collision setting in those sessions.
