Someone Else's Problem: Die Barge von Barking: 2000 Audi S6, or: Can't hear you, my exhausts are so loud!

[lip]

The 4.2 A6 was using 11.5L/100km. = The S6 burns about 1 Liter more.

Haha, a 24/7 webcam barkingcam. :lol:

Ok here we go, some barking from the side: (Again, use some device with a bit of bass to watch these. )

Not so serious first attempt: Letting it bark in an underground car park isn't fair to any microphone, but hey what a thunder-racket! - Excuse my grin towards the camera there, thehe.

The more serious second attempt: Et voila! Ignore the first revs, it's that short blast from 0:30 to 0:33 that seems to finally come close to the real-life volume. Result!

..a 24/7 barkingcam. :lol:

Thank you for signing into Barkincam.sw! Now you got a full access to exclusive carnography..

[vidvid]

The last one was spot-on. The carpark's Tunnelsound(tm) in your case was a footage of a nuclear explosion 10 meters away

I'm very honored that my choice of transport gives you pleasure Mrs. Palpatine. Still sorry about your husband.
But to cheer you up, have you heard the news?: That rebel scum General Solo has finally bought it, by the
hands of his own young one apparently, thahaha!

Empireal greetings, lip

I find the lack of spirited driving videos disturbing.

Patience, my Galantti, Patience. - In the next days the weather here will clear up and then the numbers of driving videos will rise. Dramatically!

You should audition for the next Bond Villain!

:lol:

Ursic Goldlipper?

 

[Heathrow]

Exactly or perhaps Ernst Lip-feld.

It will be my pleasure to kill off that unsophisticated Craig brute. - They say the next movie will be his last one. - They have no idea how right the are... Thahah!, and some Muahahah! for good measure.

 

[Captain_Whine]

Ursic Goldlipper?

From the creators of "Glasspacks aren't foverer", "License to roar" and "Audie another way"...

I find the lack of spirited driving videos disturbing.

Only a short hillclimb in Austria today. - Again the info: The dashcam mic isn't good at catching sound, so push the volume lever all to the right, only then you can hear it bark and snarl.

If you're interested in making more of these videos, I could teach you how to easily make a better sounding video (although you would need to buy something).

 

[lip]

I'm listening. Be precise.

 

[IceBone]

Step 1: Acquire Zoom H1
Step 2: Position inside car, firmly
Step 3: Press record on dashcam and Zoom H1
Step 4: Honk horn
Step 5: Combine video from dashcam with audio from Zoom H1 using the sound of the horn as reference in your favourite video editing app
Step 6: Share on FG

- - - Updated - - -

Alternative:

Get a dashcam or action cam with 3.5mm input, attach lavalier microphone, no editing needed.

 

[DaBoom]

Not as loud this, as one might assume from all the hype. It's loud in a good way though, having more noise in the cabin rather than outside.

 

[lip]

^ But in fairness to the "hype", all we did with it was pootling around in traffic or on snow at 50km/h. :lol:

Anyway, can't wait until spring weather will allow to cruise around with open windows.

I'm currently in the middle of a grand task. The goal: Replacing the old 2-DIN Audi nav/radio unit with a 1-DIN radio.

Step 1: Take the old radio out. Done

Step 2: Have a first look at the confusing mess on the back. Done

Step 3: De-confuse it. Done.

Step 4: Try it out with another radio. Done

(Note: This is not the final replacement radio, just one I had laying around).

Step 5: Of course be disappointed when sound comes only from the one tiny navigation speaker next to the drivers seat. Done.

:lol:

Step 6: Realise that you have an active Bose system in your car and you need an adapter to make it all work. Done.

Step 7: Go and buy such an adapter. Doing that today.

Step 8: Buy a better replacement radio (and a frame). Any ideas? All I need is a simple radio with an SD card slot and red backlights to fit the Audis all-red illumination.

Great choice of music!
