With the advent of electric cars, fans of big engines are a bit disappointed. In fact, gone is the gentle purr of a well-oiled gasoline engine… so much so that some manufacturers like Maserati or Ferrari have filed patents for systems that allow engine noise to be broadcast on their electric vehicles. On luxury cars, it is difficult to do without the roar of a beautiful V12 engine…
And if you are missing mechanical purring, I have a solution for you at a lower cost! It's even completely free, sinceThis is an engine sound simulator in your browser.
Developed by Mark Easting, Engine Sound Simulator is a very simple little site that only serves one purpose: to make you vibrate by playing with an engine noise.
Engine Sound Simulator: Make an engine sound roar on your computer
This engine noise simulation in your browser is very simple to use. Once on the site, click once to activate the sound. You have at your disposal three sound presets accessible via a small drop-down menu on the right side.
Then, everything is controlled using your keyboard. The space bar acts as an accelerator, the up/down arrows or the numbers on the keyboard change gears (six gears in total), and the B key brakes. No worries, you can push the engine to the limit in the revs, it won't explode if you miss a gear change, that said, the natural limit is around 8 rpm.
And that's it! No pretty graphics, no turns, no roads to follow. The experience of simulator is strictly acoustic. If you want to ride without pressure in beautiful landscapes, prefer the Slow Road Driving Simulator. Judging by information available on GitHub, the simulator has been online for some time now, but anyone can access its code and samples.
