Thank you so much for writing this article.
It’s really great to see that sometimes the attention is being brought to the sound of a racegame other than graphics which in my opinion is not so important than audio.
The sound in a racegame is what really brings the car to life and gives you so much information about what’s happening around you and if you listen to it properly it could make you a better driver.
Also for that reason I think audio is not being found important enough by most gamers but I hope that it will grow more popular in the future with the advantages that brings.
As audiophiles have a little world within the music industry so they might have in the gaming industry I hope.

By the way I once heard about a technology according to engine sounds that you might have heard about as well.
It was the development of software that by using the a pressure sensor installed as close to the engines exhaust as possible (probably placed at the start of the exhaust manifold) the software used this pressure recording to construct an engine sound by sending the waves trough a virtual exhaust system with the right properties (like material type, material thickness, temperature, resonating properties and so on) to simulate the sound of the exhaust, I believe it was supposed to be used for exhaust manufacturers to sculpt the sound by drawing an exhaust system on the computer before actually making the exhaust.

I think with such software for games you could make realistic audio files with different exhaust upgrades or other upgrades that change the pressure characteristics of the combustion.
Do you think this technology could ever be used for the game industry.
it’s just a thought.

anyway good article thanks.
