Avenger1647545502 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 The sound is synthesized. The Renault team issued a statement after the "singing engines" started hitting youtube that there is NO possible way for their engine to actually produce sounds like that. Look at the rear rotors. They spin at the same rate the whole video, indicating the car was in gear. With all those rev changes, they should be spinning at different rates. And major changes in throttle on F1 cars are almost always accompanied by a fuel flash from the exhaust stubs, which never happens in the video, except during those bursts of WOT at the end. The video is of an idle test or diagnostic run, with synthesized sound added. The WOT bursts are real audio though, which is why they have a different tone quality.

Primera Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 ^ Learned something new today. Nothing gives me more erectile function than F1 cars warming up their tires on the warm up lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primera Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I want to hear "Flight Of The Bumblebee" through an F1 engine Triple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I think Snopes has something on it, I heard about the statement through one of the F1 fansites, cussed be if I can remember which one though. And I've yet to see one where it LOOKS like the car engine is actually producing those notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
