Yeah, I always look forward to their new developments. This is similar to Ange's effort with SiliconX to add realistic engine sounds to an electric motorcycle though this appears to be for an electric race car.

Automation (game) does a pretty good job of simulating sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkU5KkF_L4I

Absolutely — the procedurally generated fluid-sim engine sound generator is just wild: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bJTkBsiTPc.

Anyone know good tutorials for simulating drone/airplane propeller sound?

wow, most of the time the engine sounds of cars designed to go 0-100 quickly sounds super generic, but this i can actually get to sound like two different cars i've owned. I could almost get it to sound like a Lancer Evo X but there's no blowoff or turbo sound... maybe in the next version!

Looks like this uses soundbanks instead of actually simulating an engine like AngeTheGreat's simulator. The author of this one has published their source code here https://github.com/markeasting/engine-audio

Tangentially: Does anyone know where to find a collection of the low speed sounds emitted by electric vehicles (in the US at least)? I'd be interest to hear the different approach different manufacturers have taken.

i too would be very interested in this! i am for now a petrol head but continue to be fascinated and also mildly irked by the varying EV sounds.

some sound like galactic spaceships, some like weapons, some like "blurred mechanical noise", and some are almost indescribable in words. some can be semi-nightmarish.

i'd love to play with a soundboard that had all the different EV manuf sounds on it.

Shortly after moving into my current place, I would randomly hear this hum that for the life of me I could not figure out what it was. I had even looked at maps to look for some sort of place nearby that might make sense. It wasn't a constant hum, and there was seemingly no schedule for it. A week ago, I just happened to be in my drive way instead of the fenced backyard when I heard the noise. It was my neighbor's EV

That would be an awesome PsyOps sound to get people looking in the wrong direction

This is amazing. I think a small amount of window dressing would make this a classic page people bookmark and return to frequently just for fun. Especially if that make it mobile friendly. Like even just two pedals and two flappy shifters on screen with all those other tools hidden behind a collapse or whatnot.

If you downshift with RPM too high, UI breaks off and falls to floor of screen Whole Page turns red when you hit RPM limit Shift score. Can you pick the perfect shift point based on sound alone?
