old man car sound

[Germán -Biálbero-]

Horrible!!!

[mhoggh]

I say go with B, stay away from the high pitched whine. At least B is a bit ocean-like.

[rachielej]

They are all too high-pitched. For those of us with sensitive hearing, high-pitched sounds like whistling are painful to our ears. I am glad you are not considering beeps or bells. Engine noises are better, but lower the pitch.

[dennisdahl3]

nope. sounds like a piston delivery truck. No piston sounds please.

[dennisdahl3]

nope. Sounds like a normal piston car. no need for that.

[Seany527]

Please only do B. The others are really kinda annoying. B sounds like a nice car : ) Cant wait to get one!!

If the intention is genuinely to make the cars safer then it should make a sound like a conventional car. These sounds might be fun but they will not be instantly recognised as a car that needs to be avoided, and that delay could be enough to fail to prevent an accident.

This one's the best because it's not so high pitched as the others. I still think they could do better but for now this one wins my approval.

[Chewayne Harrod]

Sounds better, thw other sound like a space ship lol. This is the most realistic
