komet163 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Want to start making some car sound mods? This is just the tutorial for you. (I also just felt like writing one, so I wouldn't also forget how to, heh) It's actually fairly easy to do. Don't be intimated by the length of this post. 1. Open your source video game. Mute all of the other sound effects (music, tire noise, environment noise, etc) except for the engine sound in the game's options. (Alternatively, you can also grab a youtube video that meets the requirements below) Then open Audacity. Hit record (R) and record these: Idle Sound Revving Acceleration Top speed sound Deceleration (To be able to record game audio, head to the section that has 4 drop-down menus [in the bottom of the toolbar] Set the 1st box to Windows WASAPI, the 2nd box to your main output device, usually called Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio) (loopback), the 3rd to 2 (Stereo) Recording Channels, and the 4th should be the same as the 2nd one [without loopback]) You then need to convert the Stereo recording to Mono, do the following steps shown in the images below (just click on the images to make them HUGE, done this to make the post more compact) 2. Stop the recording, set the Project Rate (Hz) to 32000 (can be found in the bottom left corner), and highlight the sounds below one by one. Also, test the sound for audio pops before exporting by pressing Shift + Space (repeat highlighted audio). If you hear audio pops, then zoom in into the front and end of the selection until you see dots (individual samples) or just a nice, single line then make sure that both the front and end dots are aligned to the "equator" (the line in the middle) Export the highlighted sounds (File>Export>Export Selected Audio) following this format: Bank_xxx (refer to #3 for naming the banks) sound_001.wav - Revving sound sound_002.wav - Idle sound Bank_xxx (refer to #3 for naming the banks) sound_001.wav - Hard acceleration sound (just one gear) sound_002.wav - Top speed sound sound_003.wav - Deceleration sound Make sure to export the highlighted sound by selecting File>Export>Export Selected Audio, and export it as a WAV (Microsoft) Signed 16-bit PCM. (important) Also, clear the metadata tags even when there are none. 3. Decide what car sound group it would replace. Here's the list: Bank_001 & 002 - Bravura, Cadrona, Elegy, Euros, Merit, Mesa, Nebula, Previon, Primo, Solair, Uranus, ZR-350 Bank_010 & 011 - Bullet, Glendale, Trashed Glendale, Oceanic, Tornado Bank_019 & 020 - Cabbie, Fortune, Intruder, Picador, Sunrise, Vincent, Willard, Yosemite Bank_026 & 027 - Bus, Coach, DFT-30 Bank_028 & 029 - Broadway, Hermes, Remington Bank_031 & 032 - Alpha, Buffalo, Hotring Racer, Hotring Racer A, Infernus Bank_034 & 035 - HPV1000, Wayfarer Bank_039 & 040 - Blade, Buccaneer, Clover, Sabre, Savanna, Stallion, Voodoo Bank_041 & 042 - Quadbike, Sanchez Bank_055 & 056 - Kart, Mower Bank_057 & 058 - Caddy Bank_062 & 063 - Combine Harvester Bank_064 & 065 - Bloodring Banger, Monster, Monster A, Monster B Bank_069 & 070 - BF Injection, Hotknife, Hustler, Slamvan Bank_074 & 075 - Barracks, Dune, Enforcer, FBI Truck, Flatbed, S.W.A.T., Trashmaster Bank_077 & 078 - Benson, Cement Truck, Dumper, Fire Truck (both types), Linerunner, Packer, Rhino, Roadtrain, Tanker Bank_080 & 081 - Admiral, Elegant, Emperor, Police (all 3 types), Premier, Sentinel, Stafford, Stratum, Stretch, Sultan, Taxi Bank_082 & 083 - Dozer, Tractor, Walton Bank_086 & 087 - Blista Compact, Club, Esperanto, Feltzer, Flash, Jester, Majestic, Tahoma Bank_088 & 089 - Bobcat, Greenwood, Manana, Moonbeam, Perennial, Regina, Romero, Sadler, Trashed Sadler, Tampa, Virgo, Washington Bank_092 & 093 - FBI Rancher, Huntley, Landstalker, Patriot, Rancher (both types), Ranger, Sandking Bank_094 & 095 - Hotring Racer B, Phoenix, Windsor Bank_096 & 097 - Banshee, Cheetah, Comet, Super GT, Turismo Bank_108 & 109 - Bandito, FCR-900 Bank_118 & 119 - BF-400, NRG-500, PCJ-600 Bank_130 & 131 - Ambulance, Berkley's RC Van, Burglar Boxville, Burrito, Journey, Mule, Newsvan, Pony, Securicar, Towtruck, Utility Van Bank_133 & 134 - Freeway Bank_135 & 136 - Regular Boxville, Camper, Hotdog, Rumpo, Yankee 4. Install the sounds by using either modloader or SAAT. But, I really recommend you install it with modloader as it is incredibly easier. Make a new folder inside the modloader folder and name it to anything. Place the 2 Bank_xxx folders inside the folder you created. 5. Launch the game and enjoy your new sounds. Better spawn your car or steal one! Just reply to this thread if you have problems with making car sound mods using my guide. (since it's my responsibility?)

Maybe you can help me? The same thing happened with me too! I was tried to convert the stock Lexus IS-300 sound from NFS Most Wanted (2005) to GTA SA (which replace the default sound of Premier, Police cars, Admiral). I was recorded the sounds with my android phone, then changed the format of the files to "wav" by NCH Switch Sound File Converter in my PC. But when I install the sounds using Modloader, the sounds still default. Only the deceleration sound changed to my modded one, others default sounds! I have no idea how to fix it, I'm 100% sure that the length of the sound (0:00) is exactly same as the default one, and also I have renamed all files correctly! Then why it wouldn't works? Please somebody explain... Thanks! komet163 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't record with your android phone, instead, try recording a video of the gameplay with a recording software in your PC, like FRAPS, Bandicam, Hypercam, MSI Afterburner, Camtasia, etc. Just record using audacity. 2. Import the video in a video editing software like Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier Pro, etc. Export it to WAV 16-Bit PCM. 3. Import the WAV in Audacity and edit the sounds. Everytime you feel like the sound is a success (and try to press shift+space to know if there are any pops), highlight the desired sound, and move to step 4. 4. Export the WAV using File>Export>Export Selected Audio. Export it to your desired destination. 5. Once you found the destination folder, click save, then there will be a prompt that allows you to change the credits of the audio file. Click on clear and then export. 6. Make sure to name it correctly. (bank_001, sound_001, etc etc) Reply back to me when you face any more problems.

Its a special car though and I really want it to sound better than the washing machines you get in GTA IV i feel like gta 4 uses an audio file that only lasts miliseconds, and that will take care of the rest of the car sounds (idle, revving, acceleration and deceleration) pc/audio/sfx/streamed_vehicles.rpf and yeah i agree gta 4 cars sound like vacuums and washing machines try that and if you feel like it has a sh*t sound then just experiment with other different rpm's Edited July 24, 2019 by a bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAlaux Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I managed to create sounds successfully, the one problem I have is that, under certain conditions, the sound reaches a pitch so high that it glitches out and kind-of reduces the pitch to abysmal levels. This is quite annoying if I jump with my car, but on normal roads it's completely fine. komet163 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to the car sounds, they're all low pitched and none sounded like screaming banshees that most >500 hp cars today sound like. I will try to convert the sounds of a lower pitched car or even something as deep as Redd Pepper's movie trailer voice and check if the glitch still occurs.
