Far as I can tell this >> 720S POV and the game are very close to one another. Same goes for the 570S, and 620S. The only McLarens I don't think are accurate are the P1, MP4-12C, and Senna. Senna is WAY too tame. I don't pay much attention to the external sounds. I play in cockpit view only. I will agree that the FM7 sounds are better tho.

Good point, I still think the FH4 sound lacks grunt but you're onto something here. What really bothers me about this sound is the reverberation, I find it highly distracting. I also think the pitch is a little too low and, since I like to shift by ear, when sounds have the wrong pitch, it's a big turn-off for me.

Why is it so hard to get proper interior sound? New Aston Martin sounds like all the other weak uninspired Aston Martins. I just don't get it. Why release unfinished products? Everything looks great, but sound is DEFINITELY incomplete. :(

So update 12 recap... we got toy Porsche that actually sound better than any real Porsche currently in the game. We got 2 most beautiful Aston Martins ever made one of which sounds kinda OK and the other is just a new skin for McLaren F1 (GTR). We also got 2 Volkswagens that literally nobody cares about. GGWP

Seriously. I'm mad that the real Porsches didn't get similar treatment like the real F40s did when the LEGO F40 got released. There's literally 2 Porsches that I enjoy using - Caymans. They're the only ones that have proper weight and width. The rest just sound and feel terrible. The DBS superleggera doesn't sound much different than the current Vanquish / Vantage in game. I just do not understand where the audio team leader's head is at.

Something I noticed tonight as I was playing with the chase cams is that when you turn the cam to the side of the car the sound got considerably better. Dynamic range returned, and so did the width. I'm fairly certain that their lil virtual surround experiment or whatever they did didn't work out too well. I sent in a ticket about it, and I highly suggest that more of you do too. I feel like this is a bug and it should be fixed. This doesn't help those of us who drive in first person exclusively tho. Or maybe it does. Idk. All I know is that the sound got considerably better when i turned the cam to the side of the car.

Dear PG,

This request is simple: The Lego Porsche 3.3 turbo sound pritty awesome. Please, can you consider to put the same soundfile on the normal car aswell.

I guess this would be much appriciated by the car enthousiast among us.

If you put that sound on the 1982 car without modifications it'll sound like a diesel because the pitch is too low. The Lego car can rev to 8000 rpm yet it feels as if it was at just 6000 rpm!

Could you please bring the nissan skyline sounds of forza horizon 3 into forza horizon 4, you totally destroyed the new sounds

The turbo of the Top Gear E350 doesn't become apparent until after the powerband falls off, at 4000rpm.

Nah. FH2 / FM6 are far better. I'd much rather have those.

Well the R33 in FH3 used that sound.

I agree it's a great sound, the question is, is it accurate relative to a "stock" GT-R? I was never sure of it, because the stock RB26DETT, though excellent sounding, doesn't really sound like that.

At least it's better than mishmashing Aston Martin and Porsche sounds together in hopes of creating something close, though.

There are so many cars sharing samples in FH4 that I really believe Playground had to face unexpected restrictions. They put it all in graphics and cars, and little in sounds. Given a choice as a developer I'd probably pick that as well but I can't ignore how some of the sounds are just plain bad.

Still, if you've played TDU for a while you're pretty much vaccinated against bad car sounds!

The rotary sound need improvement as it sounded better in horizon 1 and it would be nice too have the rotary idle back like in the older games.

The more I play FH2, the more I feel they should bring ALL those sounds to FH4 and improve them from there moving forward.

Nearly every aspect of FH2 was better besides the really aggressive drivatars, and graphics ( which I can't really fault them for due to tech limitations of the time ).

And except that FH2 had less destruction, so pretty much everything stops your car if you go off-road.

They really need to research more. Idk what genius at PG or T10 thinks that engineering for only small speakers is a great practice, but it needs to stop.

PG sound dev be like: ''rate my setup''

So they used an absolute trash sound for the 2019 AM DBS SL. Sounds absolutely wimpy in first person view. Pathetic. Guess the 7.0 V12 swap will have to do. Meh.

The AM DBS SL sound awful, the poor thing doesn't know whether it's a straight 6 or a V12. More lazy recycling.

I too am gutted at the sound quality of the last two Forza installments. Can someone please help me understand why Forza appear to be intentionally making the sounds worse? Sounds ludacris right? But am I wrong?

That's like a baker having awesome frosting on a cake and all the cake-lovers LOVED it. And then they think "You know what? This year i'm going to make the frosting out of dirt instead of sugar" Who in their right mind would do that? You do NOT change a car's engine sound, as that is why 90% of us car guys play this game. Right now they appear to be catering to casual arcade racers, which is extremely sad. We are 49 pages into this thread, so clearly there is a problem. But do the devs even care at this point?

Take note PG / T10 devs. This is what you need to implement right here >> EXHAUST TUNING SYSTEM

If I had to take a good guess, I'd say MS/T10 want more people to buy 4K TVs and play Forza in 4K. I think their target base has changed; probably people between 11 and 21 years of age who don't know the difference between all the unique engine sounds and exhaust character.

While they did improve some of the sounds in FM7 and the car sound overall is much, much better than what it was at launch (I'm told), FH4 car sounds are just weak and unrealistic in my opinion. But what kind of enrages me is the fact that they have some excellent samples in there: F40C, LaFerrarri, M5, etc.

I almost never play the game anymore and mostly play FM7, driving cars that do sound right.

A straight-6 and a V12 will always sound eerily similar. After all, a V12 is two straight-6s together.

People these days get too invested in exhaust wizardry from manufacturers (which is what gives the Vantage its own character next to the AMG GT) and thus become vulnerable to the "placebo effect".

Unfortunately I lost the link an old acquaintance sent me of how certain engine configurations sound closer than people think, because they are effectively the same except in double.

No, this is completely incorrect.
First of all, it has double the cylinders, the building structure of the engine severely different, so is the intake and exhaust manifold. thus, they have different ignition orders.
This (and many other things) results in completely different sound characteristics.



Not to be rude, but you sound like a sound developer at PG, someone who has no idea what there talking about.
