Just realised that the Aud R18 TDI, with it's V6 diesel, has the same engine sound as the Audi R10 TDI, with it's V12 diesel, from GT5. They are quite different in reality.
Give us better sounds - PLEASE !!

A good sound system is invaluable in any racing sim no doubt. For some reason I lost my sound from the amp a couple of nights ago (accidentally programmed the wrong source from the XMB) and all I got was sound from the 10W tv speakers
Just for fun I tried to drive that way and it was terrible. The cars were very tinny and quiet sounding, everything was off pitch, no bass at all. Switch back to digital sound is the auditory equivalent of going from a 27" CRT TV to 55" LED 1080P it is that different. I think I'm going to invest in a Buttkicker next to have some of the bass translated into ...well..buttkicking!

That's not a V8 sound, it's an inline 6. I remember it well from GT2, e.g. the Unisia Jecs R33 Skyline...

No i saw the same inconsistancies in the KTM Xbow vid on the Nurb. Not the floating car but the impossible angles and speeds at wich the car stays on track. There are moments in that video that he should have losed control but the car simply maintains grip. He was driving hard with no assists.
Not sure about the 6 banger but it does sound off to me too, it appears to be a real engine but not a 289cid small block Ford imo.
Maybe even a high CompRatio 4 banger? Escort-Cosworth?
How I think it should be:
Looks semi-realistic to me, actually we can see the driver making small-medium corrections, should it find grip though? I don't know.

Have been a long time reader of GtPlanet and want have some input into this thread.
I never was too bothered about the sounds in GT4 as at a young age I couldn't careless but going into GT5 I was hoping there would be improvements, but didn't notice much.
Now been reading threads about GT6 and the update malarky that Kaz has said they are working/researching on new ways to get sounds. I get all that but come on, Cars without decent sounds is like running 100M in your flipflop/sandals. It just doesn't work and you don't get that experience.
Recently I have been reading about Pcars and Asseto Corsa and Damn do those Sims get my heart bleeding with great sounds!
I have played GT6 for about 3 hours in total because the sounds just put me off knowing that the sound samples they have in place does not do it for me, so instead watch you tube videos and give me hope that one GT6 will have these sort of sounds in the future update.
I bloody hope future update does not mean in a years time cos that is just plain pointless!
Sample samples of two cars, BMW Z4 GT3, Zonda R and other car I don't know. Skip to 2:00 for the BMW sound!

Man the BRZ with Semi-racing exhaust sounds pretty good 
Interesting that PD recorded different sounds for the BRZ, Scion FR-S and FT86 even if they use the same engine. Wonder if that translates to the sports/semi-racing and racing exhausts as well

Why is it good with Semi-racing?
I prefer cars with stock exhausts to sound good from the get go, not having to upgrade to poor exhausts really to be frank.

It just does, I think it sounds OK stock, but nicer with the exhaust upgrades. Louder
Sports and race and nice too.
But I like nice combo of throaty and bass the semi-racing adds, and no hint of vaccum, hiss or whine!
You expect the BRZ, FT86 and Scion FR-S to sound and behave closer to the real things, since PD spend so much time with them and measuring them on track
Bought the Monaro - stuck a wing to make it look like the 24 hour racer, time for some Bathurst
Sounds a little better than in GT5, top end of the rev range is where it goes bad, same for the 22B - you get that Boxer throb with the exhaust upgrades, but lose it in the upper revs...

True but stock sounds should sound as close to the real thing, upgrading the exhausts just means that its not done right first time and needs looking into.
I really need to get off this and start to stop complaining.
The nicest sounding car I own is the Pontiac Trans Ams, sound really bassy and that is what I should expect from all premium cars, to sound really good.
Even in Forza 5, some of the sounds don't even come close to the real thing and I don't know but every car I hear in Forza 5 is a small whine like sound which is so off puting at high revs!

That sounds nothing like the 289....
?
However, the stock one does sound better...

Tested PCM linear 5.1 instead of Dolby 5.1, gives better output, less problems and better channel balances and audio quality.
Weird if putting 48 kHz sample rate on PS3/XMB it won't give any sound, but when putting 44.1 kHz it's working fine, weirdest at GT6 shows on both cases 48 kHz linear 5.1.

I had problems sleeping after playing GT6 some hours. I heard the monotone engine sound after turning off the game
