Has anyone else noticed that the engine sounds change from race to race on the same car? I just bought a 14 Corvette Stingray and upgraded the exhaust to racing exhaust and added headers and converter. The first race I used it in it sounded great. Then I proceeded to the next race and it sounded completely different. Went from a V8 sound to the old GT5 V6 sound. Noticed it on a couple of other V8's too, but not near as bad as the Vette.
I went to test drive it and switched to semi racing exhaust and it sounded great. I then tried the racing exhaust and it also sounded great. I went back into a race and both sounded like crap again.

I'm running 7.1 and there's all kinds of sound issues. One funny one is my Diablo GT. Anything above 6k rpm in 3rd, the car sound changes like it's got vtec. Then it stays that way until you drop back to second or first.

The Pontiac trans am sounds like a geo metro with a straight pipe...

Yep, i posted that earlier today. Noticed it before. So you're not the only one.

My C5 Z06 goes from sounding like a proper, American V8, to a freakin' weed-whacker mixed with a B16 Honda. Sounds retarded.

THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! NOOOOW!

Soon, too. So i can at least RACE while my car sounds appropriate before they release an update to the engine sounds across the board.

Sounds almost like a trumpet, sort of... it's AWFUL.
 
Noticed some funny things about audio yesterday after i've restarted matterhorn few times and 15th ann Lancia sound has gone from "real" sound ,to almost no sound. I've quit race then start again from menu and it was ok for a few races, but then after I've restarted race again it hapened again. Restarted again and it was Ok. :D
 
It is the same issue GT5 got at the beginning:
You change the exhaust while on the track, the sounds will not change. Once you left the track an load another the "new" exhaust sound is loaded.

Simple, you start a race with stock exhaust, install a race exhaust but the sound stays with the stock sample.
 
my anniversary gt40 sounds like its got a 2JZ conversion, while the stock gt40 i used during the goodwood trial sounds beautiful.
i was hoping for rumble :(

I was annoyed with that one too, it comes with an upgraded exhaust by default and you cant have the stock one. The race exhaust sounds pretty good though, so I'd recommend using that, it's not as good as the stock one on the normal car though.
 
I have stood next to the Ken Miles #1 GT40 Mk II at the 50th Anni. Rolex 24 at Daytona when they fired it up. It was about to go into a line up of past winners over the 50 years. It was at the end of the pits, early (like 7 am) on Saturday of the race. The drivers in the Rolex would line up and take a lap in historic cars. Before they fired it up, the doors were open and they let us take pictures and look inside. You know that smell of an old car, that old smell of high octane gas, mixed with oil, exhaust, sweat.......holy mother of ......you could literally smell the history. Then they fired it up....the sound coming out of the tangle of snakes was.....heaven. The way it just snarled and spit at idle was a sound I will take to my grave. In GT6, it sounds like my lawn tractor.......which is very sad

(Daydream) sounds perfect.
Best sound I heard was a cobra , not sure if it was real or a replica but the way it popped even at tick over was just insane.
I owned a TVR the the a few years back and after a hour in that you would smell of hot oil , petrol and burnt exhaust fumes , ya hair ya cloths every thing . I loved it better than after shave lol
 
The fix better come soon. I also finally drove the Trans Am for the first time. Stock exhaust is decent, i guess. But the semi-racing has that same garbage... i don't even know what i could describe it as - sound. Aaaannnd... the Racing exhaust has the generic, crunchy-sounding V8 sound. Not NEARLY deep enough. OLD 6.6L ? GTFO.

The Shelby GT500, also sounds SUPER DEEP. Especially a modern-day vehicle with that type of engine capacity. EVERY NEW CAR that has been introduced. It's an embarrasment to both the car, and its introduction to GT for the very first time.

Polyphony need to get their **** together NOW! A MAJOR sound update must come ASAP.
 
I had the Subaru BRZ, first 2 races I did with the car it had a nice sound and in the third race the entire sound was gone. I restarted the race and the sound was back but it was nothing like the first two races.
The next race I put a sports exhaust on it and everything was good.
 
Has anyone tried the z4 gt3 and also the sls gt3?? In real life they sound like spitfires, in the game they sounds like maybe a v6?! When I saw the silverstone round of the blancpain endurance series, these cars nearly made my ears bleed! C'mon gt and polyphony, get it sorted, us loyal gt fans don't deserve a half attempt at a game!

For real.

It's ridiculous. Bought the Trans Am, and it sounds JUST like the Corvette WHEN it wants to sound proper. This sound problem's all over the place. Not only are there COMPLETELY WRONG sounds for cars. But the sounds can also get glitched. Which leads to further WRONG SOUNDS being applied to cars. What a disaster.

Lazyness. All lazyness.
 
The Italia with race exhaust(my attempted gt3 type) has an issue when you downshift the exhaust sound disappears...its really odd. I'm sure it'll all get patched eventually

Better get patched QUICKLY. Not like... 6 months down the line.

I stopped playing. **** got boring, and at the very least, the cars could sound proper so it isn't painful to drive them. They should also sample sounds for the ST Focus. Corsa exhaust for aftermarket as well. Good sound sample. Sounds NOTHING like what it is in-game.
 
My Trans Am sounds horrible and removing the exhaust back to stock won't make it sound better and the exhaust on the car is still changed not back to stock looks terrible :mad:
 
This happened to me during the 1st muscle car series with the premium '65 Shelby GT350. It sounded like a beast at Willow Springs and then we went to Laguna Seca and all a sudden it sounded like a sick hoover!

I've got a sports exhaust on it so I don't know if that contributes to this issue

Nice!

check out the overrun from my car at 0:31

Nice car man.

Umm... what is it btw? :D

Nice sound, too.

Oh yeah, and here's the new Focus ST with Borla exhaust (thought it was Corsa, this was a while ago). It pops nearly as often as an SRT Neon. Sounds nasty. THIS is how it needs to sound in GT6.



You can hear the turbo even at cruising speeds, low RPM. In the interior even.

Noticed the same thing. I think I was on Madrid, and during the opening straight, there was no sound, then as soon as I made the left turn, the engine sound returned.

This is why I leave all the V8's stock exhaust so that I can somewhat enjoy the sound experience.

Yeah... sad. We have to give up power AND a superior sound (which we don't have, of course) in order to bear ourselves from hearing that garbage.

POLYPHONY, FIX THIS SHEET NOW! Haven't played GT6 in a few days.

The Mission race with two 'Vettes has this issue too. The AI car sounds ok, but the new C7 they give you sounds like a weed-eater. Shameful, if I was Chevy I'd be ticked off.

Dude, i'm not Chevy, Ford, or any manufacturer for that matter. And i'm pissed off. I'm a gamer who's pissed at a half-assed, sloppy job PD did with the sounds. I refuse to play the game until sounds are acceptable.

It's so pathetic, it's ridiculous.

Positive , same thing on Madrid. Noticed today , that my carsound sometimes doesn't load till first turn :D Must be that game has too much data to stream from br at the beginning and guess sound isn't that important or there's something wrong with soundmixer in game. Nothing tragic ,but patch would do good.
 
Yeah, the sounds are a joke. PD keep on saying "Oh yeah will make an update for the sounds! Now get excited for nothing as we keep on making remarks saying there will be updates, but honestly, it's never gonna happen.". So yeah, PD obviously have the sounds as a low priority task, when really it should at the top of their list.

Oh geez these developers.... btw you know what's sad? They make a fricken PRIUS a premium car and a Toyota Supra RZ a standard!!!!! AHHHHHHH THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I agree with you on the Supra. It hasn't got any love at all. Doesn't look like it's been touched from GT5. Can't even take the wing off of it. Kaz is definitely a Nissan Fanboy.
