Formula 1 engine sounds ........

[1Referee]

This season the engine sounds are making the Formula 1 less enjoyable, don't get me wrong, I still like it. But the sound is a very important part of this sport, and also the love for the car.

Every one know the sound of the ferrari, that's also why so many people love the car, change the sound and it's not that attractive anymore. ( Glad ferrari will not do this )


This video compares sounds from 2013 and now this 2014 season http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS4Dh_EAfJI

Funny thing is, in that video you see people in 2013 protect their ears with safety headphones, and in 2014 no one is using these headphones anymore

Does the new sound not turn you on anymore and ruin your stroke?   Why don't you mute the volume and make the engine noises yourself with your mouth instead?

Why did they change it?

F1 Been dead for me for a while, the cars getting slower and slower, team innovation is very restricted, and basically the one who got a tiny technical advantage in his design wins the championship that's all to it nowadays, cars are not even allowed to touch each other ...ect

It"s nice that security was increased, that's a good thing, but they are killing the show with all the limitations in place nowadays

Why did they change it?

Some engines just make different sounds.

I haven't watched F1 in years, but I guess improvements/changes in engine technology will alter the sound they make. I don't think the engine sound is that important to them to be honest. I'm sure the previous F1 engines sound much different to the ones 10 years ago anyway.

I actually like the new engine sound, it's grown on me.

LOL , some cars are very sexy, the sound is essential   I'm not good with sound mimicking

@ kuroman

Yes, the cars this season are very slow compared with previous seasons. But alteast people can't complain about Vettel winning nearly all races

Is there a video comparing the sounds of the two, or maybe the sounds throughout the F1 history?

Haha I guess it does sound very different. They sound more like passing jets now or something.

Wow, I'm not a fan of forumla one but that is a big difference. The sound of the engines is kinda iconic and just doesn't sound right.

bore ! F1 race but its good game if you want bet with your friend

[BTCLotto]

Bring back the v12's I say

I find it a bit dull but it's not as boring as nascar lol.

[durrrr]

Lol I don't know if I like formula 1 or nascar better. I like mascars commentators more than f1 and also there seems to be more action. If f1 was more like nascar is watch it

You think driving round in circle is exciting or has action? It's only got action when they crash.

My issue is that F1 has become more of a spec race over the last few years.  Same tires, same fuel, maximum fuel flow rate, etc.  You need a battery powered hybrid to be competitive at all.  The fastest cars come from the teams with the largest budget to work out the best aero.  The result is less innovation that makes its way into road-going cars.  

I liked the days when it as 3L normally aspirated or 1.5L turbo. Cylinders, fuel load, fuel mix, etc were open.  The 1.5L Turbos running something around 75 PSI boost on toluene fuel were insane.   They were cranking the boost up to get ~1500HP for qualifying, but had to dial it back to make it through the race.  There is no coincidence that development of turbo technology for road-going cars was exploding at the same time.

But isn't this the case with most sports that rely on such technology? You could also apply it to other sports like football. The teams who can afford the best players get the trophies.

I liked the 2013 forumla 1 sound better 2014 is just to quite and not so exciting to watch, bad for spectators
