The wife and I frequently hear the sound of a cat when racing. Not sure if there’s a specific trigger, but I fear it’s our lack of finesse on the tarmac. Anyone else hear it?
Searching here turned up nothing and I only got one hit from googling which was not acknowledged so we’re hoping it’s not group hysteria.
No. There is definitely a cat’s meow in the game. I have not been able to come up with any reasonable explanation for why it would be in there or any other sound that is at the track environment that even slightly resembles and could be mistaken for a cat’s meow.
The whistles, on the other hand, are a part of the environment at a race track. Corner workers use them to get the attention of the next station up or down the track. The sound is of a frequency that they can be heard over all the engine noise.
I have heard it many times on several different tracks, thought it was just the crowd cheering but with the speed of the car causing a Doppler effect, always makes me laugh, sounds like someone pulling a cat by it’s tail. (Not that i condone that kind of behavior,not at a race track anyway)
I seriously almost fell out of my chair on that one.
That sound is definitely there. I believe it has to be some background noise where maybe they went a little far to try and produce a doppler effect in the sound. The first time I heard it, I had a friend over who pointed it out. I had played for weeks and 1 minute into him watching a race he heard it. Then a minute later I heard it too. Maybe a whistle or whatever but the sound Im hearing is, softly, “meeeow”…
I think the sweeping turn before going over the bridge at Prague is a good place to get to hear it. It might even show up at the short versions but I think you’ll want to be going counterclockwise. I can’t recall hearing it going clockwise. It’s also not every lap and it does appear on other tracks as well just I don’t recall a frequent occurrence on those like Prague
I found that it is not saved by Forza when you save a whole race. This clip is on a straight with the pedal floored so that rules out some sort of Turn 10 encouragement/condescension. It’s much more prominent on my AV system and when a big V8 is not accelerating.
