The whistling 355 Berlinetta

[jag65]

While doing the trophy events I entered into the trophy for the 355 Berinetta. As I was driving on the first track, I heard a sound that was similar to a human whistle. I paused the game many times to see if it was someone whistling outside and came to the conclusion that the 355 was making the noise. I have driven in a 355 Berlinetta a few years back and don't remember a noise like that. Has anybody else heard this? Or is it some type of joke included by system 3?

Yes my 355 Berlinetta makes the same noise. The 355 Challenge car doesn't though. I don't know what it is.

makes me think it's the turbo spooling up. I've heard similar in GT4. it may also be a glitch, or something that snuck in while they were recording the engine sounds (it could also be a normal noise for the particular car they used).

an example is the Carbourator gurgle you hear in some of the V8 oldies (the Gt40, and Gt2's 82 Corvette Stingray, I believe)

The game lacks sound in different ways. Hope that will be fixed in an update.

I know what you mean but in this case the 355 is normally aspirated and the sound isn't throttle related.

it might be an Italian thing. I hear a lot of whistling out of italian cars.

If it were an Italian thing it would vary with the prettiness of the girl you were driving passed :-)

On a more serious note: You can get water pump or fuel pump whistle, but I can't remember noticing it on this car in real life.

It could be the sound of the sodium valve guides giving out just like on real 355.

Hmm.. good question. It can't be a sequential gearbox noise, because the F355 Berlinetta uses a "standard" H-pattern gearbox...
Are you sure it's not someone in the audience whistling?

I went over several runs after this was mentioned. I've been hearing it out of all sorts of cars, now. it has to be something associated with the engine noise itself (although I've only heard one case of valve clatter).

mad matt: over here, it'd be increasing in intensity from the proportions of the food being driven by
funny, I never thought KY would go so far as to include the noises of Fuel Pumps, which you technically would hear out of a rear surround speaker (ours tend to be stuffed into the tank itself )

have they muffled the noises in-cab to match unstripped cars? i rarely hear anything ...especially when these boobs are running the bleeding radio at full blast while I'm trying to concentrate

what, they didn't include ferarri's trademark "tink" noise when shifting?

 

[Biggles]

I just wish they would reduce ALL the whistling, wheezing, banging, squeaking, clanging, clanking, clunking, clonking noises! Those noises may be present IRL, but surely they are not as loud as they are in the game, or nobody would ever buy a Ferrari...?
