Everyone loves a good sounding car, and FH3 has a large variety of them!
Do people think there's an improvement over FH2 (and even FM6)?
Which cars sound the best? Which ones missed the mark?
Best turbo whistles, blow-offs and supercharger whines?
Have you come across any cars with slight loop clicks/glitches?

I think the Aventador sounds much closer to the real thing than it did in FH2, perhaps not from inside but certainly exhaust noises outside. The induction noise of the NSX-R hitting v-tec in the interior view is another gem.
Personally I am a bit miffed that the GT350R comes with basically a re-EQ'd cross plane crank noise from any of the generic V8s in the game. Turn 10 absolutely nailed the sound in FM6, its a shame Playground couldn't get hold of/didn't use it...
I was about to actually create a thread on "Anybody else feel some car sounds are just so-so?"
The longer I play the game, the more hits and misses I come across, though overall the cars do sounder louder, more aggressive, and for a change like their real-life versions.
However, they've taken a shortcut with some of the car's downshifting and off-throttle sounds:
The GT350, R10 S, M4, and a few others I can't recall... you lift off the throttle.. and it sounds like the car's stalling as you mostly hear road noise, rather than the exhaust rumble/sputter or whine of the engine. Then you downshift, and the engine very "lazily" comes to life only for a second before it sounds like its stalling again.
^^ The above is typical to the cars I mentioned and a few others I came across. Also not happy with the ZR1.. it's the same 'mechanical' sound from FM6.. fails to capture the ferocity and snarl of that exhaust. Supra sound got copy/pasted with the M4's sound.
The Charger Hellcat is SUPER quiet. I have to turn the music halfway down or else I can't even hear it at all. Exhaust tuning doesn't seem to change this. I don't get it since the Challenger is at normal volume.
On that note the 6.2Hemi sounds like a older big block v8 than what they really do sound like. I wonder if they recycled the engine note from another car.
The thing which I really don't like about the Forza games since 4, is that the car's do not change their character after exhaust and cam upgrades. You only hear higher revs along with modified supercharger or turbo sounds. Annoying!
And yes, they goofed the Charger Hellcat. There's no supercharger whine at all.
The Lexus LFA's sounds are pretty spot-on. A little low volume but they captured the notes quite accurately. The LFA is one of my favorite supercars, mostly because of that V10 noise that screams like a V10 Formula One engine, and I'm glad they reproduced that in-game.
They had it nailed pretty well in all previous Forzas on the X1.
I'm a bit disappointed with the amount of cars with repeated samples though. At least three Mustangs, the Camaro Z28 and Chevy SS sound exactly the same. It's one hell of a V8 sound, but this doesn't do it for me. That rules out having more than one of these in my garage...
Buick GNX now has a lower pitched version of the new Ford GT instead of its own sound. Also, V8 sound on the 2017 Ford Raptor, V8 on the Jeep Renegade and L6 on the Hummer H1...
These are major letdowns. This is not PD we're talking about. These guys actually know what they are doing, so it's surprising that they mess up like this. Also considering how accurate this sounds are in FM6. I don't have faith that they will ever fix it.
Other than that, sounds in Forza are still the best in the gaming industry. Sounds are much more refined this time around. superchargers are silent unfortunately, but the turbos sound absolutely glorious.
Makes me angry, I swear! They're very generic.. and even when you install Dom's Charger engine swap in the other American V8 muscle cars... it sounds more like a crop dusters turbo prop engine than a 1000+ HP supercharged Dodge charger sound - they had this nailed pretty well in the FH Fast & Furious game as well as H2. Don't know whey they keep taking steps back.
I get the feeling they don't really play their games.. just keep rolling em' out.
Best sounding car I have thus car is the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor with the race exhaust on it.
They goofed the sound on this one as it has a turbocharged V6, not V8.
