All I know is after the update the turbo sounds are louder in the roof cam I don't know if the supercharger sounds are louder.

The Mines Skyline is in GT5. What he's saying is the sound was changed for the worse in the full game. Should have stayed the same as Prologue.
I don't get how people keep saying "supercharger sounds" when I've never heard it at all. Adding a supercharger doesn't add the sound to any car in the game. (as it should) Just last night I supercharged a 370Z and even purchased a Mercedes SLK from the UCD that is supercharged from the factory. Neither car had any supercharger sounds...

I use the standard ps3 headset ("Official PS3 Wireless 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound Headset"), what sound setting is the best for it? Small theatre seems to be the general preference as for dynamic range, having looked around this thread a bit, but what's the optimal speaker layout? 7.1 or Virtual Surround I would guess? I've tried both, but have trouble testing which option provides the best directionality and sound quality. I know a "7.1" headset cannot compete with an actual 7.1 speaker setup for directionality. I just want to make sure I make the best with what I have. Thanks!

Depends on how well your ear-brain, head and shoulders match up with the virtualisation Sony are using - each person needs bespoke "settings" to get the best out of it. If the virtual surround setting does nothing over straight 7.1, chances are you're not a close match to the "average" Sony used.
What virtual surround over headphones does better (for me) than discrete speakers using the classic channel per speaker mixing (i.e. practically all home theatre setups) is the sense of envelopment and fullness of sound, whilst the speakers win out on directionality (marginally) and the full-body sound experience, at the expense of the obvious sense of discrete sound sources, i.e. of being sat amongst a load of speakers.
What's supposed to be much better is the treatment of the speakers as an array of "exciters" to create a circular or spherical sound field, rather than as discrete sources - this means they all work together to create a much better sense of envelopment, and individual speakers "disappear". Each output sound channel is a component of the spherical harmonics that represent the sound field's "vibration", and each speaker gets a mix of each harmonic appropriate to its position in the array. That's in theory, at least, it needs some setting up and there's generally very little support despite it being pioneered in the 1970s, although Codemasters use it in their racing games. Check out "ambisonics" in general for more information, and try not to get too hung up on the vertical element, there are improvements to be had even using 2D speaker arrays and headphones (as Codies demonstrate).

Just thought of something regarding the HSV-010 in comparison to the other cars. When one listens to the outside and the inside of most the cars, really the onboard doesn't sound all that different from the outside (other then maybe being slightly more muffled or Gearwhine, which even then is present on Roof cam). For instance, the Peugeot 908 has this issue. The outside sounds exactly like the inside with the only difference being in volume and gearwhine. The HSV-010 on the other hand, Actually has a totally distinct difference in the outside having that scream (not exact, but still different) and the inside having the in-car muffle. Seems like this is the first car where PD has this difference in sound actually done well for once.

The only car I have heard with a supercharger sound is the 2000 camaro. It has a whine that I am pretty sure is a supercharger.

I reckon that, like with the Cobra R, this is placebo.
No other cars change when putting a supercharger on, why would only those two?
Have you driven the C3 without the supercharger? That happens a lot, people fully mod a car and marvel at the realistic supercharger sound, totally unaware that that particular sound is there when stock...

Found another great (and realistic) exhaust, IMO.
RUF 3400S with semi-racing exhaust sounds just like a Porsche and pretty damn awesome. Great handling car, too.

It would be good to find a cockpit view video after 2.08 to show it better.
And it sounds amazing. It's a blast in 5.1. You can even hear some details while you change your gears.
counter345, thanks for the tip 👍
I will upload some videos with some cars I've discovered that it has some great sound.

This is what a modified R34 sounds like PD, PLEASE take note.
That sound is seriously...just orgasmic man.
on another note, has anyone noticed any improvements in sound after the 1.12 patch?
has anyone done any comparisons?

Bump.
I'm back and I've finally edited that damned OP.
