8 Reasons Why Forza Horizon 5 Sounds Weird... 

I think the main issue is the Forza devs are really out of touch with real car culture.

The valkyrie v12 has the loudest idle in the game tbh imo. So loud that u can even hear it in the distance when another player is in it

I literally thought i was the only one who has literally all these issues mentioned. I didnt know i needed this video

the idle in fh5 is actually so annoying because its so quiet and all the cars idle so much higher than they're real life counterparts which adds to the frustration of the idle being as quiet as it is

Forza is in it for the money at this point, they don't care about the car community anymore

Really really good points. It's funny how the fh5 community is more creative and more proactive than the actual developers of the game.

FH3 was the last game that had good car sounds

The hoonigan gymkhana 10 focus has an amazing idle

i think a thing a lot of people forget is a big reason why features like turbo's being repeated and gearboxes being repeated as well, there are 1K cars planned for this game and i can only imagine the time it would take to change every car in it's own unique way, and adding more stuff like that would make it's already huge storage bigger, so they mostly chose to focus on in game features and adding more cars than just upgrading the realism on the cars we have now.. still though they can still do this and that would be awesome, but that is a good reason why they probably didn't

The Fast X 1970 Charger and Hot Wheels Twin Mill also have really good idle sounds. So does the Countach if you put a sport or race exhaust on it.

Who remembers the Hondas and acuras sounds in Forza horizon 3❤

I honestly they should fix the turbo sound in FH5 actually

C63 black series in FH3 has beautiful burbles

I agree to all of these I hope they will try and improve most of these in the current game or even the new forza.

DiRT Rally 2 has some of the best sounds out there! The details are amazing!

That “straight cut gear” of yours is a super charger. You can hear it change each gear, straight cut gears don’t change sound like that. Nice.

5:17 that’s actually how it works on a lot of cars irl

I knew something sounded off when I was playing. Thanks for pointing this out. Really sucks coz so many games got these spot on

I like that with some cars, theres no backfire at all, experienced that with SF90 and the new BRZ

6:44 the exhaust 😭

Antilag is a system that allows the turbo to hold its rpm between shifts which is why it pops and bangs contantly and coupled with how turbos work in forza it acts the same way as the stututu noises

It’s like every car does a small brake as it shifts rather than stalling acceleration

launch control without anti lag on some cars is basically a soft limiter

I’m lucky enough to own a Hellcat Challenger IRL and the instant bear change is most likely emulated that way because they most likely had the car in “Track” mode, where the 8 speed gearbox makes almost instant gear changes.

I've found out with launch control on certain cars if you hold the throttle halfway you get a more aggressive limiter

I especially think that they should fix the idle sound of the countach😭(GT7 did a great job with the sound👏)

FINALLY SOMEONE HAS MENTIONED THE WIERD BEHAVIOUR OF TURBOS STUTTERING AT THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH OF THE THROTTLE, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM!

You can also hear the turbo stututu when you go from reverse gear to the first gear...

For the straight cut gears, just switch to interior camera and they will sound better

Just found your channel and love the video I 💯 agree forza 3 had the best car sounds.. alot of the cars don't sound no where near as visceral as their real life counterparts.. and induction noises really need an update and more variety if it's supercharged or turbocharged I wanna hear it and feel it just like the real thing definitely need more compressor surge/blower noise variation.. I enjoyed the addition of anti lag but would love rolling antilag/2 step and rotaries definitely need more horsepower too but my favourite car atm is the Valkyrie I love the sound but for example 1000 plus horsepower Rbs 2jzs etc sound weak compared to the real cars making that kind of power.. hopefully they listen to the community more for a change..

whats weird is that fh3 actually had realistic turbo spool sounds, no idea why theyre gone in fh5

I agree! Btw, Dom's Charger has a great idle sound

Idles would be good if Forza added some realistic sounds. The audio you played was a lumpy LS so the corvettes would sound good idling like that. And the turbo spool could use some attention too

turbo problem has been going on for so long I genuinely have no idea how they let that happen or why they haven't fixed it yet its super annoying

As a person who lives in an area where there's all different types of cars with different customizations and engine sounds and exhaust pipes I can confirm that Yuwan Thayakaran is 777% correct with everything he said in this video speaking of which today I saw/heard a Toyota matrix vehicle with a pretty decent sized exhaust pipe on it also can we have a petition for Yuwan Thayakaran to help Playground Games to develop FH6

3:31 "They seem to have an identity crisis in fh because they spool up instantly -oh an XP board!" 😂😂😂😂

is that how anti lag works in real life? tuners tune their car and then rev up to the redline and flames come outta the exhaust like machine guns. also i think you were using manual gearbox in the first point cuz choosing automatic gearbox from settings make the needle rev up to the redline and shift

0:50 most automatic cars shift like manual gearboxes. Massive delays. They can learn a thing or two from BeamNG.

Okay, I agree one thing - random backfire. Like, you take stock Pagani Huayra and you get backfire... Like what? At last Forza Motorsport did something bit better - backfire animation, sound and not so annoying.

I dont know if you know this, you could buy a hellcat with a regular manual transmission apparently. So the sound is right for that, but the interior with the paddle shifters is not lol

I’ve thought about all of these issues for years, I thought I was the only one who noticed 😂

A pdk is a dual clutch btw

😅I don't even think there's a way to fix the car sounds... unless the devs get involved

What can I say Dirt Rally 2 is a masterpiece and will probably stay the Goat of Rally Sims fpr a long time unless they release something new.

Go to options.. audio.. put effect lowest and the rest keep it at max.

1:37 so I know why they screwed up the transmission. It’s like someone is shifting it with a stick. Not actually taking into consideration each cars gearbox

I recently tried making some shifting sounds and realistic turbo spooling and flutter sounds in Scratch 3.0. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a pretty basic visual programming language designed for kids. It took me about 15 minutes to code sine wave based shifting sounds, turbo spooling with a simple boost simulation using linear interpolation and flutter sounds with the pitch based on the boost you had before releasing the throttle. So if I am able to do it on my own in 15 minutes, how is a multi billion dollar company incapable of doing it 6 years after the development of the game started? It makes no sense to me.

It changes gears instantly because 1 you didn't tune them and 2 you're using automatic

also, the sound of straight cut gears should NOT be in tune with the sound of the engine itself... when you change gears the gear ratio changes so the “pitch ratio” should obviously change as well

I wonder how u got the sound mod to work

If I heard a chop for v8s in forza I'd do nothing but idle

Am i the only one who liked the sound of the Mercedes E63S AMG in FH4? I liked the aggressiveness of the sound😅

The turbo noise pisses me off so much anytime I can use a supercharger I do

Everything sounds like im riding in a tunnel with the windows down 😂😂😂

I am baffled at the fact that cant the Dev go out and look for cars or get a deal to get those cars and record them at its finest quality, or do what Initial D did for the original 1998 show, fun fact the sound that was made for the show was made by the guy who obtain the sounds for Pokemon like the Poke ball and more, the sounds is just so good (Its dated but its genuine) I think forza did the same but didn't do it to its finest

We neeed dsg farts bro

turbo IRL be like=sutututu turbo in forza=fuuuu

if u get to the high hp cars with v8s you do here the chop. but thats 600hp plus, which is pretty realistic

1:53 blue balling us frrr

here before 1000 views

Anti lag is annoying in horizon 5 In the beginning it was good but it got old fast

Anti-lag in Forza was cool at first but now it just gets boring and annyoing bc its just none stop back fire when its not even like that in irl

True video

“inSTAAAANtly.”

This game was deffo not made by car guys

3:02 I WISH 😭

Every Forza actually has launch control, even the older ones. Switch to manual with a clutch; hold A and full throttle, then release.

9:23 The reason the car idles quietly is because it’s a older model

On the camero, it’s a ss, which means it’s a 427 ci

Nice video, but in the title, it states: "8 ways to improve the sound," so how you improve it

Love forza but I gotta say motorfest and nfs heat are more accurate on car sounds

This is why I drive mwc

Bro do you need number of speech corrector?

Bro said here are 8 ways to FIX car sounds in fh5 in the description but never mentioned it

Brooo just admit that you ran outta ideas 😭

This guy would love BeamNG.drive😂

I would also like to point out that the limiters of the car are not accurate at all, for example if you bring a lexus lfa to the limiter in fh5 it does not sound at all like the real deal and so on with other cars

The backfire sound was from FH3 also.

Well for one thing, the turbos are different, different sound and different blow off valve. If you don't go buck wild building a car with only Race Parts, you can actually have a better car if you DON'T use race parts. My main thing with Forza being wrong in so many ways is they try to balance the cars due to the fact that it is a game and most game developers try to keep the game balanced.

I swear they still haven’t fixed the bwm m3 sound and the backfire and anti lag sounds horrible

Npc and drivitars were out for bro in this video left and right😬also everything up to fh3 were the last good games with good sounding cars honestly

Dirt 2 is goat of car sounds

Yuwan just dis forza horizon 5😂

💯

w

oooo xp board🥶🥶😱😱😯😨

they just lazy, if u knock ur exhaust pipe off and then antilag, the flames still show😭

NFS heat has the best turbo sounds.

LET US DO ENGINE SWAPS ALSO BETTER BODY KITS

The turbo sounds so annoying, turbo at -10psi and the annoying blow off

So sad a car game can’t even get the basic sounds of a car down 🤦🏽‍♂️

They do need to fix this the older games sounded better in most of the cases

Ok so they can't give us v8 idle sound but when comes to vaccuums ehm i mean high rpm tiny pocket engines oh yes we have it 😒

Forza always give the community’ a half done job lol

I’m pretty sure that everyone knows that turn 10 doesn’t give a flying fuck at this point lmao

I’m begging you to bring back “hello it is I” what’s the point to having it as your insta bio if you don’t say it anymore :(

As for your point on Gearbox It's false. The demon, lambo and PDK shifting time are pretty accurate. Because gearbox in Forza doesn't slip, therefore the sensation of Torque Converter gearbox doesn't show here. PDK, just position yourself on the hood cam and judge again. Yes, they don't feel the brutal part of the lambo but this is still virtual. The oscillation between shifts are good enough for me. Also, not all automatic shift quick in this game. Just try the SL65. The only car where the shift is not accurate is the LFA, which you didn't show. In real life, that car shifts very slow. In Forza however, it shifts like a Mercedes MCT.

Some cars sound good others are wtf happened since the rally update got much worse

Firing the Current (Lazy and Arrogant and Incompetent and Woke!) Sound Team, Hiring the Team that did Motorfest (Best. Car. Sounds. Ever...) , Changing the Audio Middleware to FMod, WWise or REVS, ramping up the Bass (especially on the Idle Chop for the Big Block V8's, some of the Big Block V8 Idle Chops in the Base Heavy Motorfest are *Brutal* ! just as they should be!), adding in some really Awesome Sweetners to the EV's to make them sound less Boring (such as Motorfest Mixing in the Scream of a *Judd V10* ! to the whine of the E-Motors on the ID-R) , getting better mikes such as Shure (Which Codemasters use), stop the "one size fits all" Approach to Turbo and Pops and Anti-Lag and Launch Control and Gearboxes (as you said) and make them more Authentic by using Timings and Sounds taken from the *actual Cars themselves* instead of the one setting that some Purple Haired Potted Succulent thinks "will do" for all the Games cars, Using a Dyno Bench to get under Bonnet Sounds (Such as Turbo Spool/Blowoff Rates and Sounds, Burbles, Transmission Whine/Clunk and the Engine Hang/Fade due to slow Gearshifts on Auto's, etc ) and the Gear-Shift Timings on all Gears, as well as a Test Track for the Rest and Hiring an Expert Car Finder such as Craig "Fast and Furious" Lieberman to do the "Raw Sound" Sourcing from the *actual Cars* (as well as the 3D Scans so they can all be remodelled correctly! we want a Model of a *French* 500E! Not one of an American 500E!) so there is no more just making the Sounds up from random "Sound Grains" !! and that is just off the top of my head! PS... be Funny if they did add Stop/Start to cars that have it IRL in FH6...

The fact that that gearboxes don't have this oscillation sound, is because gearboxes itself don't oscillate, unlike Forza Motorsport. BeamNG developers have done it better.
