Engine Sound of F1 24 / Early Access engines
After watching several videos from YouTubers on F1 24 in Early Access like Idreau, Aarava, Opmer I have the sound of the engines is just catastrophic both in TV POD camera and in exterior view or eve...
Forum Discussion
Thank you for your feedback 👍 Obviously the present sound is not the worst in the franchise but remains very far from the real sound of the engines. This is valid for the 4 engines present in F1. And of course it is also a question of licenses and the FOM as always and this is unfortunately an obstacle to the significant improvement of the games both in sound and in livery as you said. Despite this, for me and many people in the community, the noise of the engines is quite far from reality. I'm not making it up, it's real. There is obviously hatred in the community, especially at the moment but it is not only for the sound as you say but for a lot of things which are in no way heard by Codemaster or changed by their developers. I find that somewhat logical as a lot of people are angry. It's not Max or Lando or even the Esport players that we are shown on the networks who keep the franchise alive. This is only a small percentage of the community. It's you, me, everyone present in the forums, the comments on all the networks that keep the games alive. 😄
@DavidLld33 Absolutely valid criticism and i was just referring to the very negative tone in this thread, there is plenty of reasons to be negative about the recent state of F1 games (has been going on for a while).. But to me the Honda, Merc and Alpine are acceptable engine sounds under the given circumstances, considering that everyone listens to them, the real engines and mods on considerably different audio systems.. Be it just small in ear headphones, real headphones, just a tv, normal speakers or even studio quality speakers, they all give you a different frequency response and pronounce certain aspects of the sound differently - not even starting with the reverb diffusion of the room - so while the F1 game might sound horrendous with player A's audio system it might actually sound closer to real life than AC with player B's audio system. And im also not starting with peoples individual perception of sound..
All im asking is that people consider that its just not that simple of a matter and you cant make audio please everyone🙂

Yes I agree with you on the fact that this post remains quite negative but despite this in no way aims to bring hatred towards the developers or destroy the games 😁 But just something that has been pointed out for years by a lot of people and which tends to have very little evolution and it is obvious that it is not that simple. But if no one really talks about it, the chances of it changing are very slim. This forum is dedicated to this kind of thing if I'm not mistaken 😃 You know for my personal case I started working on the F1 franchise since "Formula one 2003" so for a few short years already. And every year I own the game whether it is good or not. Except this year for the first time in my life. I remain an F1 fan and it is not very difficult to identify the problems or faults that have persisted for a long time. This post is only one point among many, and it may not be part of the immediate priority but I think it deserves to be exposed 😉
@Meza994What on earth are you talking about?
Regardless of licenses and approvals, it shouldn’t be worse than before.
At least it must improve every year to get closer to reality. But not.
It's moving away from the real thing, but it also mentions that new real engine sounds are recorded every year.
The current engine sound is not at the official game level.Point Is you expect things to improve and not to become worse. When you think f1 21-22-23 (apart from Merc engine) all have good engine sounds...
It's like they've just thrown any old rubbish together with no thought. Extremely disappointing!
- @homesvslupin Better or worse depends on the listener as i tried to explain it depends on where you listen, what you get for comparison etc, like the Alpine on low revs off-throttle sounds a ton better than last year, to me, Merc does too, the Red Bull/Honda in AC mods sounds atrocious to me but thats just my opinion.. Regarding sound you get as many opinions as on the taste of food
- @Meza994 I am very uncomfortable with your opinion. Because your opinion is well thought out and easily blurs the argument on this issue.
Many players, as well as people on this forum, believe that the engine sounds are not close to the real thing.
The fact that there is no correct answer to sound and that individual differences exist is a statement that can easily ignore such opinions.
This is neither Mozart's classical music nor pop music.
This is not pineapple pizza or coffee.
This is not a question of whether it is good or bad to hear, but a question of whether it is close to reality or not.
There is a clear target audience for what we hear on F1 TV Onboard.
People who raise this issue are not stupid enough to express their opinion because they do not know the difference between devices such as mobile and TV, or headphones and speakers.
I work as a broadcast audio engineer, and as I am sensitive to sound, I compare game and real-life audio in various ways, and even if you are not an audio engineer, you can clearly see the difference.
In some series, Mercedes was good, and in other series, Ferrari was good. They have a lot of potential and it will be a shame to hear the sound of the engine going backwards in the next series.
People who agree with this are not just negative people who dislike this game, but because they expect this game to develop further and hope that it will increase my sense of immersion.
Of course, opinions on whether it is good or bad can vary as much as the current handling issue, but treating it as just an individual difference is the same as completely denying the reason for this forum to exist.
