Have you ever player assetto corsa? A parte from the fact that you can mix the various sound as you see fit (engines, brakes, tires..), they're insanely good. And asset to corsa was developed by 10 people..
Give us better sounds - PLEASE !!

Wow I am glad I am skipping GT6 the sounds are unbearable. I am really hoping GT7 will have awesome sounds this year. Since it is going to be on PS4 and all it would be a disgrace to call it a next gen game if it had these kind of car sounds.

Have not had the chance to p[lay with 1.04 yet, can anyone report any sound improvements for any cars?

Unbearable is a word best used for things like pain beyond anything you've experienced before...seriously, not sounds in a game.
Okay, I know you can use it to describe other things, but it just sounds a bit silly in this context. Uncomfortable would be better maybe?

Well, believe what you wish, though I don't think they're so bad as that.
The word I'd choose is disappointing, though I don't let that get in the way of enjoying the whole experience, especially as an improvement is being worked on.

Tire sounds in 1.04 are horrible again. =/
Seems like PD is somewhat lost.

The sounds did not even change in 1.04! All they really did was add new cars. What are you going on about...?

YES! I love the NSX so much more.
When i tried the HSV i couldn't stand that steel roll bar going across the middile of windshield. I think that car is just not for me.

I for one do not like the GT6 sounds in the big picture as well.
There are a few exceptions, where sounds are not bad.
One of those exceptions for example is the Audi R18 winning Le Mans racer - although I remember the car to be a lot quieter than it is rendered in GT6.
It also makes a big difference, to race the R18 with a 5.1 system and set the sound output to "small theatre" + tweaking the position of the satellites and sound levels.
You can get the sound just right, that you get the direction and sound levels in a nice way.
For me the biggest point of critique is that somehow the car do not sound "alive" or "organic" or "real" when interacting with the car on the track.
It simply sounds as if one standard short sound sample for each car has been recorded and is played as a background sound, added overly dominant tire squeal and that is it.
In other simulators you can hear pop off valves, turbos spooling and singing, backfires growling, brake disks squealing and their squeal actually changing the tune as of how intense and long you are breaking.
You can hear the suspension, other kit in the car, as it knocks against the chassis, hear the chassis squeaking in intense track sections, …
For this kind of "alive" sounds you probably need as much hardware resources and programers, coding the sound engine, as you do for the graphics.
One single sound sample, played at a fixed rate, depending on very limited variables will not cut it either - we need a lot more different sound layers, that fluctuate, depending on conditions.
I always give PD the doubt, that the ageing PS3 system simply cannot provide those resources.
I see, how polished the graphics of the cars look now on the old PS3 and always think, that this is PD's primary driving force - looks.
I always liked such really bad reviewed games by comparison, as Shift 2 - although they severely lack in many points, one thing they do get somehow right is a feel of immersion, when at speed - partly of their exaggerated sound.
For me a really good example of total immersion (helped by fantastic sound) is and always will be Richard Burns Rally for PC. You can literally feel when things start to get dangerous, as there are simply so many cues apart from the visuals - the sounds, although on a very old software was always first rate.

That is why I am waiting for GT7 on the PS4. They will have no excuse to give us horrible sounds on a PS4. It will be coming soon. Because I remember them saying a few months ago that their next project was like 80% complete or something. It might even come out this year.

That video just reinforces how bad the sounds are, as the supposed top 20 sounds aren't even that good. There's better sounds on racing games for mobile devices for crying out loud.

PS2 sounds, really? Now you're just stretching to make a point. If you think they're untouched since PS2...then I suggest a hearing check might be in order as GT6 sounds aren't even the same as GT5's.
Thank you.

I wanted to do the X2014 standard races yesterday....but that horrible pitch from all those cars made my ears bleed. One car sounds ok, but a whole field of them sounds horrible!
The Vette GT from the new timetrail sounds "nice". Not sure but i think the "stock" C7 got the same soundsample now.

If you want to hear great sound, check out SimBin's RaceRoom Racing Experience. There is a free version on steam with a few cars. The LMP car's sound is amazing. You hear everything - brakes, suspension, wind, engine, gearbox, tires.. Within 30 seconds of my first lap I couldn't stop thinking about how incredible the auditory experience was. I ended up cranking up my sound system and even hotlapping was a rush!
That showed me that there is so much potential, but it may require the additional resources that the PS3 may not be able to provide. I don't know enough about the technical aspects of heavily layered surround sound to make any sort of informed judgement though.

The interior ("engine") sound of the HSV is straight from Tourist Trophy.
Wrong recording; the latest sound is a doubled four cylinder exhaust, which is consequently missing the "fundamental".
In short, it's still a placeholder like the rest of them.
