Gran Turismo 4: NEW Car Sounds Compilation (Spec II Mod)

[@TheAdmiester]

Thanks for showcasing, even when working on them I sometimes forget how bad the originals were (especially the likes of the 190E and Crossfire), so having them side by side like this is great.

[@chrischarizard4067]

Hey the sound you put on the clk gtr... Although the rpm doesn't match it too well, the rpm and tone sound really good for the E55 AMG, do you think you could put it on that car? I own one in real-life and just realized GT4 actually had one, but the normal sound is so wrong lol

[@TheAdmiester]

@@chrischarizard4067 It's a bit raw for a stock E55 to be honest, I could consider putting it in as the top exhaust upgrade, but right now it's using the same sound I made for the SL55/SLR.

[@henrique6282]

Can you try to make the 22b sounds closer to the real car? It sounds similar to other 90's STIs, and also try to match the sound with RPMs, which is about 8.000rpm
For the rest of the cars, i think they're much better

[@TheAdmiester]

@@henrique6282 I don't really know of any more accurate source for the 22B than the one I used. For the GC-based models I used GT Sport's Impreza Ver.6 - I wanted to use the 22B sound for the 22B, but they sound more like air than actual exhaust sound, which works way worse in GT4 than it does Sport

[@chrischarizard4067]

@@TheAdmiester Yo I just found the SLR sound you did on your channel. If that's what you put on the E55 it's perfect lol. Looking forward to your other works.

[@TamiyaGuy123]

These are fantastic, I never would've thought that we'd reach this level of modding for a nearly 20-year-old PS2 game I really appreciate how the author hasn't gone overboard with the sounds either - they have the same slightly subdued feel as the original sounds, so remain in-keeping with GT's aesthetic. The Impreza now has that wonderful flat-4 burble, the 190E now sounds like an actual _car_ and not a kitchen blender...
In fact, the only one I'm not sure on is the new sound for the Toyota GT-ONE - that particular bellow of the original has been a staple from GT2 to GT4, so to hear it changed feels strange, somehow!

[@K31TH3R]

I still have a Game Informer magazine in storage showcasing how Polyphony recorded the audio of the cars. There was a lot of effort and high end equipment capturing what I assume were excellent recordings, seemingly none of which made it into the actual game. I can only assume that a dog must've eaten all the tape that stored the audio recordings of the cars, and at the last minute before release, Polyphony told the audio guy "don't come out until you've replaced all the recordings" before they locked him in the office bathroom with a boom microphone and a Panasonic vacuum cleaner.
This is the kind of audio the game should've shipped with. What a fantastic job, especially considering how small the file samples needed to be in order to work. The constraints are crazy.

[@NS55gaming]

Gotta love the new and improved engine sounds :)

[@uku000]

Woah that DB9 Spec lol mod sound is so beautiful!

[@totallynotjohn8083]

Finally the cars dont sound like vacuums now they sound amazing now but I can't blame the original developers for having the cars sound like that since there's so many cars in the game having unique sounds for each them and making them good would be very time consuming.

[@RowdyGT]

All the Imprezas use the same sound currently, some are just placeholders. I’m not familiar with the 22b sound irl but I just chose that car out of the bundle to show

[@Domi39]

Yeah, agreed, it sounds like it has a massive exhaust out of the back. A bit too aggressive for stock

[@oregonfelder1]

@@RowdyGTthe 22B was only a Japanese spec car…JDM Subarus had equal length exhaust manifold which meant less of a “lumpy boxer” sound. The “boxer” sound is sort of a USDM thing that has now been made popular in Japan.

This would really make me enjoy every car in the game instead of keeping all the same cars on each run, have a question:

Modded exhausts will have the original sounds of the game. Changing those too would add way too much extra work

[@lowercase.]

i hope they change the straight cut gear whine too, never liked how it sounded in GT4

[@TheAdmiester]

It's possible but I'm still in two minds over it. Replacing it with something else is the most tricky option, and I've had lots of requests asking me to keep it as-is, and lots to remove it entirely. Not sure what I'll do yet but I'm aware of it.

[@m-seb]

@@TheAdmiester you could perhaps release the modded gear whine separately from the main mod as another delta patcher file

[@TheAdmiester]

@@m-seb Not ideal as it would mean making two versions of the ~300MB mod for one tiny change. I'd like to make it optional somehow but want to give the method more thought.
EDIT: Unless you meant another tiny patch that would be installed on top of the patched mod, that could work but I think would confuse a lot of people

These are awesome! Major improvment for many of them; I will be looking forward to when this mod debuts. The only vehicles that seemed a little "meh" where the Audi S4 and the Impreza 22B.

[@rodolphofabian517]

Great work @TheAdmiester!
Just a thought, why you guys don't volume up the turbo sound too, like GT2?

[@Ben-Rogue]

I'm curious to see how they did it. I always though GT4 had a mixing issue, as if you drive in different camera views, or look backwards, the car always sounded different. One good example is the Mazda 323f / Lantis. Driving in the bumper camera it sounds like the typical GT4 vaccume cleaner, but if you park it and turned the volume way up and listen to it idle from the chase camera, it sounded very similar, with a low burble of the V6 that. If you revved it very slightly you could also hear a lot more detail, but things just fall apart when you turn the volume back to a normal level and start to drive it

[@TheAdmiester]

That's down to each car having two recordings, one for engine and one for exhaust. Exhaust is what people typically associate with "a car sound" and the engine is the more ticky side with less bass. When you change to bumper or bonnet camera the game shifts the mix to prioritise the engine side, to fake a sort of 3D audio effect.
When you stop the car and rev in GT4 it almost exclusively uses the exhaust audio, which is why you'll hear it faintly on bumper camera until you actually start to move away.

[@mtagirihforce009]

The audi s4 sounds are amazing,I would like to do this for gtPsp

[@SMGM7S]

This would have been the perfect opportunity to swap in the engine sound for the M3 GTR from Most Wanted into gran turismo ;)

[@elitef40]

No exaggeration, but this might just be one of the greatest mods I've ever seen

[@SonicBoone56]

[@MadladDeluxe]

I think the audio crackling is actually more so an issue with GT4 itself, because i hear the crackling even on original hardware.

[@d34thby1337]

The CLK GTR sounds awesome, but that's definitely a V8 sound for a car that had a V12

[@TheAdmiester]

CLK GTR was a V12, yes, but the one in the game is a CLK-LM. It was named CLK GTR in some builds, but the lower nose and the vents on the wheel arches give it away.

[@d34thby1337]

Good to know! Awesome work on this mod, I'm super excited to play it when it's released.

[@TheAdmiester]

It's a flat plane V8, so kind of like a raspy/racey 4 cylinder sound

[@HenryOqtarve]

I leave a impression about my favorite sounds.
350Z : Sounded like a Japanese sports car
Cappuccino : From a sound that seems to be moving with a weak mainspring, it has become a sound that is small but has power.
CLK GTR : The top in my personal favorite. I was surprised by the sound when I stepped on the accelerator for the first time. This will keep you from getting bored even in long races.
GT one : Changed from the vacuum cleaner before, now you can feel the presence as a race car
JGTC Supra : Frankly speaking, I like it more than the real thing
EK9 : Not too light like an original sound, just the right sound
Impreza : Bold, sophisticated sound
270R : To be honest, I prefer the sound of the original when the rev is turned off. It is highly evaluated that the running sound has become thicker than the original.
C2 : I think it's the most realistic car out there.
Camaro : I love the wild sound. very comfortable to listen to
FD : It has improved significantly from a dull sound.
Thank you @RowdyGT and @TheAdmister! I have never play GT4, but I feel the sounds in this game are cheep.
When I play GT4, I will install this mods.
