Audio Regression in F1 25 vs. F1 24 – Bring back raw engine sounds for F1 27
Hello team!
Comparing the Red Bull (Honda RBPT) engine audio between F1 24 and F1 25, there is a clear regression in the TV Broadcast / Replay cameras:
• Muffled Low-Pass Filter: F1 24 captured the RB20’s aggressive metallic rasp and off-throttle crackles. F1 25 applied a heavy muffled filter that washed out the mid/high frequencies, making the car sound muted through corners.
• Doesn't match real life: The real 2025 RB21 kept that loud, raspy Honda sound. F1 24 actually sounds much closer to the real RB21 than F1 25 does.
• Weak flyby & camera mismatch: Trackside flybys lack volume and air displacement, while the onboard camera sounds like a completely different audio file.
For F1 27: Please use F1 24’s raw, aggressive audio as the baseline instead of F1 25's muted mix. Keep the default sound raw across all cameras (especially TV Broadcast), and put any muffled/compressed filters into a separate "Cinema" preset.
Thanks for listening!
