Community ManagerHi everyone,
the team has looked into this change to the Ferrari engine sound, and it was actually specifically made to bring it closer in line with the real-world audio.
Thanks for all your feedback though! Long gone are the days of the glorious V8 engine sounds, unfortunately.

But why was it not listed in the patch notes?
@EA_VendceraWell tell the devs they've done a dreadful job. Just listen to this comparison I made a few months ago (timestamp 6:47) https://youtu.be/rtR7qQCJFLw?si=YmYOW5V1jpDUfxi7&t=407
Tell me how the new sound is closer to the real sound, when the real sound is clearly closer to the old sound in my comparison?
How on this planet did the developers ever come to this conclusion that the new Ferrari engine sound is closer to real world audio?
It is quite simply the worst Ferrari engine sound I've ever heard.
The sound has a massive amount of compression and is in such low resolution audio.
I play on console, so don't have the option to download a sound patch made by others, which I would imagine is 10 times better than this garbage the developers have come up with!
So we're now stuck with it. Unacceptable and not good enough!
We are not sitting in real F1 monopost (we are playing a game on a PS5), so the only feedback from the cockpit view is the visual motion and sound. The current sound sample makes the driving experience from the cockpit more difficult, especially in the driver mode (very low resolution, muffled downshifts, reduced volume, not usable (!like at all!) with the buttkicker Gamer haptics). It would be very helpful to get back on track with the previous Ferrari engine sound sample. Please, please, please...
I'd much rather have the original Ferrari sound back too and that was also a travesty. What does that say about the new one?
I'm absolutely baffled why they can't just use the sound file from F122 for the Ferrari? Best version they created in terms of sound.
The latest Ferrari engine sound is beyond awful. How this was ever passed and checked off as acceptable beggars belief!
Community ManagerHey folks,
we appreciate the feedback and I can assure you that we've passed it onto the developers. Feedback is also noted that we should have definitely communicated this change better.
However, even if you are frustrated by the changes, I would ask you to stay constructive.

Compared to the rest of the engine sounds, it's extremely poor. It's almost like it's from a completely different game and a much older one at that.
It's great that the development team have tried to adjust it from the initial release version after feedback there.
However the quality is severely lacking. It literally sounds like listening through a broken set of headphones. Sound is so compressed and muffled.
I'm absolutely convinced they can make it so much better?
I've mentioned it before, but why not just use the sound files for the Ferrari from F122 for now. Surely easy to do?
I am not sure I understand. Ferrari sound is here to stay? Are you not going to revert to how it was before 1.10?
I will try to be constructive. This new sound is the outlier among all other engine sounds in the game. It has nothing in common with real life.
If there are so many people bringing this to your attention and if so many people said do not fix what is not broken, why change it?
can we all get a very clear answer?
1. Will you revert it back to how it was before 1.10?
2. Why did you decide to change it? Did people ask for it? What problem did you try to address?

Just revert it back to F1 22 and you'll make all of us very happy, that's constructive enough I think
