Heard of this before??

Post by mickt » 27 Jan 2008 10:05 pm

Hi all
Few years ago I borrowed a CD from our local library It was a sound effects (SFX????) collection of car sounds like engine starting . horn sounding , doors opening , car passing at speed etc published by the BBC ,one of a series. I recorded some of it onto audio tape . I must say chaps it is brilliant Somehow the background "noise" is nonexistent and you can recognise the different models of cars (ahem mostly classics by now) from the sounds anyone out there heard any of these . I reckon it beats those Volvo Corporation marketing videos we saw at Gaydon , but not sure if a Volvo appears in the CD or not
cheers mickt

The 240 / 740 has a unique sound due to the fan and cowling.

Would be nice to put sound clips together of different Volvo engines and see if ppl can identify them

Sounds like the tape in the film gone in 60 seconds that the garage guy puts on.

"Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. At Le Mans. 1971. The quad-cam V12" :D
