Anyone else have issue with the sound levels? It's great the tire squeal can be heard but WOW. At times it's absolutely painfully loud and even when at lower levels it's loud enough to almost drown out the engine noise completely. It would be nice to have a seperate slider for either tire effects or cockpit engine noise. I like that they account for being in the vehicle reducing how much you hear the engine but the tire noise is just overpowering the point that with headphones on I have to turn the sound down so low to keep peak tire noise from blowing out my eardrums that the engine sounds puny. It really takes some of the excitement out of the drive. For me, hearing that engine scream is the most engaging audio aspect of a racing game. A shame to wash it out with generic tire noise.

I found the tire noise excessive also. Fortunately, softer tires add "racier" make it lessen.
 
Tyre squeal is WAY TOO LOUD! They gotta include an option to turn the volume down of just the tyre noise.
 
Lower levels would help a ton, but the sound for comfort tires is very weird anyway, making it even worse when it's piercing your eardrums

Agreed! Its not so much the volume but more that there is too much of it. Too much of tire squeal!!!

"Hearing that engine scream"?

In GT games?
