Audio options - Engine sounds

I really like the engine sounds in the game, however, some views sound much better than others, specifically the over the hood camera is hard to listen to.  

If there was an audio option like this:

Engine sound: by view or user selected 

If user selected then user can select from interior, exterior hood, exterior far, etc, and that engine sound will be used regardless of which view is selected. 

Even further to this engine sound option, the following would be amazing sound options to include in the volume controls. Or perhaps an "advanced engine sounds" audio sub menu. 

Engine intake/turbo sounds  0-100

Exhaust/muffler sounds 0-100

Deceleration pops & crackles 0-100

Wind sounds 0-100

    @EA_BarryCan you add this option to the game? I play always onboard, but the exterior far the best sound, the downshifts are amazing!

    Agreed

    At minimum a basic option for selectable sound mix independent of view
    Or even better, "mix your own" to your liking with a sub menu of sliders

    Has this progressed anywhere within EA?

    Also, the Engine sounds need much more priority in the audio mix.
    I need to have the co-driver and other sounds (Surfaces, etc) down at around 50% to get anywhere near a realistic level.

    I'm using studio monitors with "TV" or "Headphone" mix applied

    I would also like to add here:
    Exhaust shots should be more expressive, recorded on a separate channel at a specific frequency. Now everything is mixed in the overall engine and exhaust noise. In DR2 and Dirt5 exhaust shots sounded much better than in ea wrc

    After some quick testing tonight, I have discovered the perfect audio mix.

    If you roll a car about 6 times so that both doors are removed, you get the perfect mix of engine, exhaust and drivetrain sounds.

    Just Make that mix the default 

  • The audio is horrible

    Done! Getting my money back on this crud. I'm not putting that audio through my Bose speakers or any other speakers. Some cars are fine but whoever decided to make some cars awful was stupid. I'll never play this game, it's not worth it. I'll stick with Dirt Rally 2.0 - puts this game to shame. Duh !!! I'm just pissed I could not figure out a way to stop this horrible sound... makes no sense that a developer would put a feature in that makes me not play the game ever again and I will tell everyone else how bad it is too... I just don't need to troubleshoot their software when many others complain about the same thing - not something I can fix or even care enough to. There is just some really Dumb executives working at EA obviously.
