Pink Floydish tone to my tuned 458 Italia

Anyone else have this problem? Weird droning on heavy acceleration. Tell me I'm not the only one.

its pink floydish huh? lol

Engines do have pitches. Its the engines characteristic sound. nothing to worry about.

Psychedelic, man.

But they are poorly looped, which is why the 'drone' thing (if I read the OP right, anyway).

There are many cars in GT5 with something extremely WRONG with their engine notes (or overall sound). And I don't just mean the sound used, but the playback of the sound. To many cars with repeating loops that have 'bumps' in the sound, sounds that are 'phase-y' (maybe that's the Pink Floyd reference?) cancellation between samples.

Sound just seems to be one of those things MUCH less important than modeling the detail in a car's headlamps in GT5. For the life of me, I can't understand why, though. You only ever see the minute detailing of headlamps in Photo Mode, but you LISTEN to the car 100% of the time you are driving.

This game seems utterly ADHD in so many ways...

"Welcome to the machine" would be appropriate.

No , I haven't noticed it in mine , but I'll take more notice next time I drive it.

remove the customizable gearbox. That makes an awful whine when you're pushing the car hard.

Good stuff. I think I've figured it out to be the Ti exhaust. My Gallardo does the same thing now and didn't before I upgraded just the exhaust.

And I don't have the customizable gearbox in any of my cars.

I think Destinkeys got it with the loop thing. Oh well.
