Sound mod help.

[Raychev]

Hello, Racedepartment Members!
I'm trying to make a sound mod for M3 GTR. So my question is:
How can I remove that whining sound?

That is probably a gear (transmission) whine. If it is a separate file just delete it or edit its volume to zero; otherwise it is incorporated into the engine sound and your only recourse is to start with a different sound.

It could also be a turbo whine, these are almost always incorporated in the engine sound, again necessitating finding a different sound to work with.

If properly done, gear whine is usually a lower pitch than turbo, is present at all speeds and increases pitch with speed; properly done turbo whine is higher pitch, should only be evident at mid and high rpm, and increases pitch rapidly with rpm.

With your car in neutral rev the engine, if you hear the sound you don't like it's a turbo; if you only hear the sound when the car is moving it is probably a gear sound. Look in the aud file for a reference to "gear" "gearbox" "transmission" and place a double slash - // - in front of that line, save and try the car again.

Okay, thanks! The car has straight cut gears. This is from where the whining sound comes.

TrannyInitialRampRPM=1200.0 // ramp volume up to this driveshaft RPM because low pitches sound bad

TrannyPowerBlendRPMInside=(1750.0, 5000.0) // blend range using driveshaft RPM
TrannyPower1RPMTorqueInside=(5835, 700.0) // natural RPM at which sample was recorded, transmission torque (in Nm) for maximum volume
TrannyPower2RPMTorqueInside=(7100, 700.0)

TrannyCoastBlendRPMInside=(1750.0, 5000.0)
TrannyCoast1RPMTorqueInside=(5373, 400.0)
TrannyCoast2RPMTorqueInside=(8785, 600.0)

Remove that and the audio files from your "SOUNDS" folder and by that you'll remove the whining sound!
