Audio Feedback Thread

Also, should the hopper soft top and the hopper classic (willys jeep styled one) have basically no sound deadening since it literally has no roof?
It sounds like your in a hardtop even though there isn't any roof.

 

They promised it feature in future.

 

These things may possibly come once we get audio raytracing done in the game

 

"done in game" as in it's WIP currently, or a concept for the future?

 

Awesome job with the new sounds! I really like the new tire sounds when driving on gravel! Is there a way to adjust the volume for the tire-gravel sound alone? If I wanted to raise the volume of that sound effect, would that be possible?
Again, thanks for your wonderful work

 

Cabin sounds muffling now is well done.

 

Does tire pressure have any effect on the audio system?

 

Hello

Currently i maked a i4 VTEC engine, but the sound is not perfect (i use factory sounds).
The sound config has a muffling line.

"sampleName": "I4_2_engine",
"intakeMuffling": 1,
...
I need different muffling value at different rpm's for example 0.3 under 5000rpm, and 1.0 over 5000rpm, VTEC kick in. is there any way to solve this?
And second problem with stock sound's it's has very loud sub frequencies at high rpm, but if i reduce the low frequencies, it's affect all of rpm range.

I try to find instructios for audio config, but nothing.

And what is "fundamental" sound?

 

Alright, sooo, i take back what i said about modern RX cars not detonating as much, must have forgotten it from the previous time i was at holjes as this car was most likely there.. hehe

Such a cool video from an audio lovers perspective that i had to share it, its got a good mix of distance, reverb and loud pops and bangs, hopefully the ray tracing can get beam just a little closer to that,

Also with the headphone mix, do you have any plans on 3d/hrtf audio?

 

@TDK is there any way to be able to direct the sound into one direction? Similar to the spot light effect?
Might be able to use that for in car audio stuff..
Since, there is a stereo system mod, which works pretty good at the moment


Imagine someone made the new escalade.. speakers everywhere..

 

"As for sub frequencies of the i4_2 at high RPM, you mean ultra-low frequencies? - this isn't something I've noticed on my Neumann speaker system. Take the 7992RPM sample, for sure there is some low frequencies down to around 67hz but certainly no sub-harmonic frequencies."

You hear in the video what i mean. On idle and lower rpm's i miss the "bass", but if i not limited the frequencies under 70Hz, my brain has some damage on high rpm.

But really, the i4 engine only has a 66Hz signal at 8k rpm, i dont check the spectrum before. So my problem is the common EQ for all RPM and the muffling off course.

And you say a interesting thing, the current audio system is old, and maybe you're working on a new system?

 

Audio raytracing has been previously mentioned- will this allow sound to "bounce" off of the vehicle itself, as well as nearby vehicles, and even the map?

Audio raytracing actually sounds like a much easier way of muffling the cockpit than the current solution- at least, if you plan on having the re3moval and addition of every part effect the audio. (since the audio source is localized, and the rays are bouncing from that source to the nodes along the car, which then presumably bounces them back, i assume that the removal or positional change of nodes would cause the sound to either bounce back from a different trajectory or not bounce back at all, which i also assume would make muffling on-the-fly much easier since it would be a simple case of the more the sound bounces off the more muffled it becomes in that trajectory.)
Everything i said could be completely wrong and if so please correct me- I love learning about the technical side of development like this

 

Another question on the ray tracing, is it planned to then have coltriss values for sound dampening and reflection? Preferably per side so if one side is hard metal while the other is interior and such you wouldn't need to double the coltriss for it to be accurate

 

Yeah I totally get that And I really appreciate the fact that this feature was even added in the first place. I am very grateful I guess what I´m asking is, if there is a way for me to change the levels of the sounds? (Tires on gravel roads for instance) Or is that within the base code of the game?

This game as come so far, when you think about the first demo all those years ago. Really amazing job!

 

@TDK is there technical reason for tire squeal to start so late?

What I mean is that with SBR4 TTB I'm usually starting to pick up some tire squealing when Wheels debug app is showing around 20% of sliding of tire nodes, which is bit late for sound to give audible feedback for the driver to make corrections.

With Civetta Bolide I think it is 40% slip before I can pick up sound and by then car is lost case, so faster driving needs eyes on wheels debug app to make any corrections on time.

This used to be much worse in version 19 of the game I believe, 22 certainly improved it, but I would think that this is key reason why some people complain about understeer or tire physics of the game as compared to Assetto Corsa for example audible feedback of sliding is twice as much slip required in Beamng.

I have though it being related to unwanted noises under normal driving and nodes always sliding bit more, but this is one of the key issues with faster driving with the game for me at least.

I do understand interest to avoid Automobilista 1 effect of course, where tires are howling trough all the corners.

Something I saw in a song, maybe there was a story? Overhill Gardens, Janet, moths :0
