Inspired by the recurring rant from Jezza, and also recent posts in the awesome thread, I just have to ask, what is "fake" about exhaust noise?
So if you design an exhaust to give a certain sound, the "real" engine sound would be the engine without the exhaust, right?
but I just think that sounds wrong... Also it sounds worse in person, but you just can't capture that with most microphones because it's just too loud.
Engines are very loud, the more you hear of it, the more real it is. And also, no matter what kind of exhaust you fit, it's always the sound of the engine you can hear going through different pipes and silencers.
So in my mind, as long as you don't fit speakers to a car, the sound isn't fake.
What do you think?
