GT5 Sound Thread

[RACECAR]

What a joke, what exactly was the improvement again??

You might have expected too much since it said "Improved Racing Sounds" and not "Improved Engine Sounds".

Yeah I now, but really would it be too much to just switch some existing sound samples arround?

 

[Grand Prix]

Everybody asked for "better sounds" and they gave them to us. Classic PD.

"Oh, you wanted better ENGINE sounds."

 

[digitalic]

sounds are very slightly improved with the 2.0.2 update, the engine sounds are still not raw enough. This is the only weak point of the game. I hope PD and Kaz can make a total revamp on the engine sounds of all the cars in the game for the next update, then this will be the best game ever. I'm still going back between this and Forza 4. The sound really adds to the experience and that is the only thing missing. Please Kaz, find a way to solve this sound issue once and for all. We are happy with all these updates to constantly improve upon the game, don't stop now. Give us great sound please!

There's your problem.

Two changes I've noticed in the sound after this patch:

1. At least in my open-cockpit Audi R8 Race Car, the wind noise is more pronounced, something that I think needed some more noticeability for all cars.

2. Engine sounds for most cars in general sound a bit 'meatier,' as if slight exhaust upgrade. Or it could just be the placebo effect in action again.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Morphisor]

My Lancia Stratos Rally Car sounds very different now, like someone slapped a much louder exhaust on it.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

The wind is even more obnoxious. Sorry Kaz, not all cars have tissue paper for interior insulation. Nor do all people drive with their windows open all the time.

 

[Spagetti69]

Just booting up now.

Haven't played for months. Interested to hear these amazing sounds.

The wind is actually good in cockpit GT5P was bad, and if you have an upgraded exhaust you can barely hear it. I really like it.

 

[Spagetti69]

Edit. Just played the GTR event time trial thingy. (Got a ticket fur just trying it)

Anyway. Hitting a barrier sounds exactly like have my head in a drum and someone hitting it with a mallet.

When dropping gear and bouncing off the limiter it sounds like a snare drum.

Wind noise seems extreme for a closed cocpit car

 

[Furinkazen]

The wind in my FT 86...

 

[RedBaron]

Why the hell we can't edit volume of particular effect? Engine, brakes, wind, stone chips (I know they aren't there), crashes and bounces etc.

Yep, racing games in the 80's had this.

I'm waiting for this man! For now I adjust my speakers individually.

 

[CoolColJ]

Wind noise is pretty loud when you go fast in real life, so I think it should be louder still

Edit - seems like the downshifting, throttle blips and engine braking sound better than I remeber in the IS-F with sports exhaust

 

[BloodyPenguin]

I can notice like someone said before. The sounds are "meatier" Turbos are slightly louder, tire squeal is more pronounced and exhausts are bassier.

The wind noise was off putting at first. I was like... why is it so loud? But then I just got used to it. I like the tone change of it while you are drafting/not drafting.

I think the sound is better. At least they are trying.

I agree on this.

I remember that the Impreza used to drone along with its Boxer engine grunt, but now, PD tweaked the sound and it sounds spot-on now. I drove the '69 Camaro Z/28 too and they seem to have fixed the ol' V8 rumble, which was totally absent before this update came. The SLR and SLS sound meatier too.

tl;dr They tweaked the sound and removed the the flawed effects of the engine noise so cars now sound a lot better now.

why dont we all just sign a email or everyone send 1 email with the same text and stuff to PD?? having alot of people emailing them will definately put some affect on their next update. gt5 only has rfactors racing sounds missing. lets just put together an email and let everyone send them this email.

There is not even a need to do the event, just load it up and get back out of it and you will get the car also .


I will most likely try this event to improve my rankings today but with my G27 feeling so poor, I don't know if I will improve. Will be good to hear the sounds if they are improved much.

That or a petition with signatures.

 

[notStig]

The new sounds effects are nice. The wind efect is very cool. they seem to have adjusted the sound mixing because a lot sounds a bit different now. There's just one thing I noticed while drving the Stars and Stripes seasonal: the engine sound on my Viper SRT-10 ACR (probably on the regular Viper as well but I have not tested it) is so low that is barely audible. When there's another car nearby or when there's tire noise I can hear nothing. Is it just me? If not, they should make it a lot louder.

 

[Topsu]

The annoying sound when you downshift using clutch is still there, but I didn't hear it in the new Toyota. The downshifts were very smooth and sounded much more pleasant when you lift the clutch.

I've thought of it before, but there's no listed e-mail adresses for any PD staff.

In GT5 aftermarket exhausts have increasingly different noise levels, they don't just change sounds and performance. Try installing a better one.

I know that better exhaust are louder but I was using a stock ACR with no mods and i don't think a Viper is that quiet IRL. It was very low even on chase cam. I don't want to have to install an aftermarket exhaust just to hear my car.

Actually, that was a problem even before this update.

 

[Jav]

I really can't notice any real improvements on car sounds, the sound samples are still misplaced, the cars still sound like vacuum cleaners. Only thing that's noticeable is the playback audio quality of replays and tire squeal, oh yeah and the gale force wind effects!

Agreed.
