Engine-sound FL330

[cloudfreak1]

hey IXEG Team,

will the Engine-sound fading  with higher airspeed and be near zero at cruising level FL330 ?

something i don't like in P3D

 

regards

The engine sound doesn´t change with airspeed or altitude. The wind sounds get louder, but those are default X-Plane.

 

So in a nutshell the ratio of windsounds to engine sounds changes - just like in the real aircraft, but the absolute engine sound stays more or less the same.

To be accurate, the various engine sounds (whinning, low freq noises etc.) in the cabin and flight deck indeed modulates while the air density gets lower, however, the perception of this effect is pretty subjective and depends on the airframe and engine. As Jan said, the effects are barely noticeable for most sound effects because the wind rush around the plane gets much louder. In my experiences as a passenger only that buzz saw sound is changing noticeably (CFM56-5 on A320 for example does that pretty much) and vanishes slowly at medium altitudes. Unfortunately, I have never flown in a classic but it seems that these old CFM56 doesn't buzz much if you check some videos on youtube. Instead you can hear a pretty typical whinning sound between medium to high power settings. I like the "choking" sound when you get the engines out of idle particularly and IXEG does a great job capturing these

 

Question for the devs: will the aircraft have costum wind noises for the flight deck?

No - we have a custom "taxiing sound", but default wind sound, iirc.
