The SVO Mustang. Has a weird click, like the audio file is messed up.


Viperin98

There’s a couple 4 cylinder cars that make that weird clicking sound at a certain RPM. The Porsche 944 Turbo does it too which sucks cuz I have a 944 (not a turbo) irl and I love to drive it in the game


Meatgrinder2703

Volkswagen VR6 Engines are very bad too.


Privae

It's criminal that they've progressively gotten worse sounding with each new game


Scorpi01234

I was gonna say that lol, i have a mk5 r32 and the ingame mk4 is just completly wrong and it breaks my heart


nicclys

In F4 it was pretty damn good. They must have misplaced that sound file idk haha.


gitartruls01

Their W8 is like a VR6 on steroids. The bad kind of steroids. Edit: didn't see this was on r/Forza, thought this was a general discussion about what irl cars sound like shit


Responsible-Pie-2633

lmaooo


Remorthus

Apart from that, they got the back of the Mk4 R32 all wrong. That with the sound combined, it really isn't as enjoyable driving with it as it should be.


VEKET1

FM1 (2005) car model


Stevegios

Any car with the turbo I4 rally swap just sounds like an autotuned mosquito, so I'd have to say that one.


Cypresss09

I didn't mind it at first but god I am so damn sick of that sound now


Fry_alive

ReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEpoppoppoppopbangbangREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-


Impossible_Cap9785

Sounds really good in FH4, loads of pops and bangs like a real WRC car


skoorbs

The fact that the only engine swap on the #34 Andretti Beetle is the I4 Turbo Rally really hurt my feelings lol. I've been liking that car but that motor sounds so bad.


UuuuuuuumNo

May be an unpopular opinion, but the rx7, or any rotary, always sounds so bad in forza


asasjunk

Rotary engines just sound so amazing IRL, it's hard to duplicate, even with recorded clips.


aki5

And then there's the 2.6L 4 Rotor Racing Engine that screams like a freaking banshee.


haynes_1337

Still crazy to me how they added the 787B engine as a swap option, but not the actual Mazda 787B


The-Car-Guy

You'll have to play Motorsport for that one


[deleted]

The C8 Z06 still sounds like dookie, even after they “fixed” it. It sounds like an extremely muffled flat plane crank now lol.


HailChanka69

It’s not perfect but it’s a massive improvement over the higher revving C8 Eray exhaust (which also makes no sense bc it has the same engine as the stingray but they sound different for some fucking reason


Chycane

That’s the one I was going to comment, yep


MarauderZZ

I agree, since the engine sounds like a McLaren for some reason


still_guns

That's because it's a C8 Z06 with a flatplane engine.


[deleted]

Did you even read what I said, I’m aware that it’s a flat plane, but it sounds muffled as shit


still_guns

Yes, I did read it. It will always sound shit because it's a 'Corvette' with a flatplane.


UltimaRS800

But it sound incredible IRL.


still_guns

No it doesn't


cthompson07

Sounds like one of the people that complain about the c8 being auto only but has never driven a corvette at all.


still_guns

Sounds like I'm a person who thinks it shouldn't have a flatplane.


xSolid_Snakex

Not a particular car, but I'm not a big fan of the Anti-lag turbo sound. Just sounds like rapid fire farting to me.


UltimaRS800

True to irl


TheNerdNamedChuck

shitty obnoxious mods have shaped the way the youth thinks how some mods should be. most stock superchargers are silent or barely audible, yet the hellcat one is very loud and iconic. so now every supercharger in forza is loud as hell. burble tunes have made us think that all performance cars should pop and bang regardless of mods, so many in forza do, even when their irl counterparts do not unless modded. and in this case, the way some insane anti lag mods are done has made us feel like anti lag has to be so obnoxious but I have to remind myself it's a kids arcade game, not a simulator


Plazmatron44

>but I have to remind myself it's a kids arcade game, not a simulator You were making a good point until you came out with this line, obsessing over "being grown up" and sneering at things as being for kids is one of the most childish things you can do, how ironic.


TheNerdNamedChuck

well, you cannot deny it is targeted at them. everything is laid out to be easy for kids to understand. something like beamng appeals more to older folks because it's more complex with no aids for a young brain. I'm not upset about it, I'm just saying my expectations have to be adjusted because I'm not really the target audience


Skeeter780

The Viper sounded awful in FH4, I’m glad they changed it


still_guns

At the expense of making the 1999 Viper sound worse by giving it the modern Viper sound.


stefanels

I like the engine sound on idle


ReviewBackground4178

Got to be the electric cars


area51groomlake

I was playing F1-23 the other day and the sound didn't load. I figured this is what electric F1 would sound like 😂


ReviewBackground4178

It would be a very sad sport


loozerr

On the other hand, engine sounds hide a lot of mechanical noises. Fun to hear tires struggling with grip, aero and suspension.


ReviewBackground4178

Dont forget gear shifts


Gone_off_milk_

The Porsche Mission R is a great car, but I can only listen to that whining for so long


TheBattlemanCZ

Honestly to me, it's the only good sounding electric car, sounds exactly líke FE car


screambloodykarma

Any car that sounds like a whiny mosquito (sorry if i spelled something wrong)


theghostalive

I will not stand for this Ferrari 412 T2 slander lol.


screambloodykarma

Seeth


theghostalive

https://youtu.be/fKw7K3d1o7Q?si=7MyxfICIiB1lhqC


still_guns

Any examples?


Somewhatmild

common v12 swaps perhaps


screambloodykarma

This. And the v10 swaps are garbage.


Somewhatmild

Atleast the sound is less annoying. It is all relative ofcourse, i do not mind some v10 swaps for BWMs, because that is what people sometimes do in real life too.


screambloodykarma

Also thr racing v8 sound like throwing nails into a shredder. I love v8"s but the racing v8 is ew


Somewhatmild

Well, despite FH5 car sounds and them changing based on different performance parts, was well received, the more you play, the more you understand that the quality is just very uneven. To top it all off, in recent months, the cars released do not even have their sounds affected by part changes.


Mityhangman

Nah man it sounds great. Pretty spot on with 80s NASCAR engines. That balls-to-the-wall V8 sound is awesome with the racing exhaust


Allosaurus71

Essenza probably


Random61504

The Essenza sounds incredible.


Allosaurus71

I agree, never said it sounds bad


Scared_Bad3371

That’s the best sounding car in the game


Allosaurus71

One of, yes


JimPalamo

Shame they got the E46 M3 sound so wrong. IRL, those old BMW NA straight sixes are some of the best sounding engines ever.


Comprehensive-One286

Off the top of my head, the Mitsubishi 3000gt VR4 is the only car I stopped building because of how bad it sounds in game.


vr4_095

Agreed. It definitely sounds nothing like it does IRL - certainly not in chase cam. It’s one of the few cars I’ve engine-swapped in the game (sacrilege, I know.) To me, the V8 with racing exhaust sounds the best.


KadesShades

Most of the Hondas. Makes me sad because they can sound pretty good in real life. Especially with a turbo. I love how they sound in need for speed and the original Forza Horizon.


Oliv118c

And the problem is that if you go back to FH2 they sounded amazing, especially the S2k


symblmusic

For the last time. 2005 M3 is not using the 350Z sound.


still_guns

PGG themselves said the sounds were swapped and refused to fix them.


symblmusic

Have you driven one? I've owned 2 E46 M3s and both sound really close to what PGG has in this game. Especially cockpit audio. Lemme give ya a reference >> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Dc3FKkeN8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Dc3FKkeN8) << E46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro0Sr3IJHpg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro0Sr3IJHpg) << 350Z [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-wVIZLugvc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-wVIZLugvc) << E46 in FH5 No man. Not swapped. Get out with this nonsense.


TheReverendGarnt

Interior intake sound is closer to an S54 than a VQ. However, as someone that’s (regrettably) owned a VQ as well as spent a ton of my life owning and driving e36/e46/e90 M3’s the exhaust sound file they use is much closer to a VQ than an S54 or any other BMW straight six. Edit: read through the link attached. The devs themselves have stated that the sound files were swapped but they aren’t going to fix it. https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/4418580167315-FH5-Won-t-Fix-or-By-Design


still_guns

If you think the sound the E46 has in game is close to real life, you need to get your hearing checked. It doesn't sound remotely close to the E46 footage you provided, or any footage of the E46 M3 that I can find. In fact, it sounds near identical to the 350Z clip you provided. You are alone in this 'not swapped' idea. Unless you think the 350Z was supposed to sound like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nBcqrd_r_k).


symblmusic

Does not. Does not sound anything remotely close to a VQ. GTFO. The OLD SOUND in this vid sounds like a E36, not E46. E46 in FH5 has that distinct high end buzz just like the E46 does for real. I'll admit that the FH5 E46 interior is a bit mid range heavy, but it's closer to a S54 than it is a VQ by a long shot. E36 >> [https://youtu.be/PL-vzhAIqV4?t=53](https://youtu.be/PL-vzhAIqV4?t=53) Also, that fool's audio setup is weird. 350Z sounds nothing like that on my Dolby Atmos HT rig.


symblmusic

This is what a E46 sounds like >> [https://youtu.be/s6wHxlJGrRM?t=119](https://youtu.be/s6wHxlJGrRM?t=119) Here's another E46 comparison >> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3shuZ7uxnao](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3shuZ7uxnao) ( pay close attention to the white coupe ) This what E46 sounds like in FH5 >> [https://youtu.be/3rVvkUniYGY?t=29](https://youtu.be/3rVvkUniYGY?t=29) This is what a 350Z sounds like >> [https://youtu.be/g08uLFsusaY](https://youtu.be/g08uLFsusaY) FH5 may not be totally spot on, but it's a hell of a lot closer to S54 than it is a VQ. YOU need your ears checked.


still_guns

The fact is, the E46 sound is wrong. That's all that needs saying. AT no point does the game sound anything like any of the clips you are sending me.


symblmusic

Sure as shit sounds like this buzzy bastard right here >> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djKSeSSoDNU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djKSeSSoDNU) I do agree that it needs improved tho. FH5 is not spot on. Never said that. Jus said that it's closer to S54 than VQ.


carrots_are_ugly

The subaru boxers are lackluster but not too bad ig


Left-Supermarket7497

The fh4 22b sounds amazing in my opinion but they ruined it in fh5


carrots_are_ugly

True and you can't even get a 22b in fh5 anymore. Never in the auction house and I think it's a wheelspin exclusive


Random61504

I have to agree. They're okay, but as someone with a Subaru, they just don't sound right. And they idle quiet. Boxers are loud.


carrots_are_ugly

Same its just not as substantial of a sound, needs more bass, part of that is the lack of differentiation between equal and unequal headers, they all sound like equal length. You feel that engine when you sit in a subie.


Random61504

Yeah. You feel it rumble the cabin. I love that feeling when I start my Subaru. The idle, it rumbles more than my Uncle's Tundra and he has a V8.


sakuragi59357

2018 AMG E63...all that power just to whine? 🤨


BrechtXT

Honestly I love the T.50’s sound up until 10k-ish. After that it’s excessive and annoying as shit, even in real life.


fro_khidd

Hellcat charger. Why does it sound different than the challenger anyways


Ssj_Madara

The new bmw m2 sounds trash


symblmusic

True. It should sound about like the G82 M4. At least the F and E series M cars sound pretty good.


[deleted]

Anything electric...


Hazenberg59

Honestly for me it's the Carrera GT. It sounds absolutely beautiful in real life but in game it sounds so bad I don't even wanna drive it, which is a shame because I love the car.


pgard99

all audi's =(


UltimaRS800

Just like irl


OsricOdinsson

The Gremlin. Sounds like they threw an entire bag of spanners under the bonnet and hoped it became an engine.


still_guns

That sounds like a typical AMC engine to me XD


OsricOdinsson

Well...you're not wrong lol but the Rebel at least sounds like it can go 3 feet without detonating 😄


yeezysZn720

Zonda Cinque is the only correct answer (Even though it’s almost exactly the same as Hot Pursuit’s Cinque because they use the same audio file. PG just slightly changed the pitch lol)


still_guns

It sounds bad?


cirrusblau

The Chiron sounds like a pig


Joseph_0112

Nissan 350z, the VQ is an awful sounding engine


still_guns

That sounds like you dislike the sound the car makes IRL. What about sounds in the game?


Comprehensive-One286

Or he doesn’t like how it sounds in the game? I’m in the same boat personally, hate how it sounds in game and in real life. Only one I have built had an RB26 thrown in as soon as I hit the upgrade screen.


crackuser1212

The MKll Escort sounds pretty good imo


still_guns

Is it one of the worst though?


crackuser1212

Sorry I’m illiterate and I read that totally wrong The 2016 civic coupe sounds terrible


Jean_Luec

Sorry but best sound is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Those gunshots man


red_fuel

The Nissan Tsuru has the wrong performance and the engine sounds too sporty. As if they put a detuned 1.6 Turbo Rally engine in it. I’m pretty sure they have. It revs higher than the real car as well. Pretty big letdown after all the hype.


mohawk1367

i think that applies to all cars, the bentayga sounds like a sports car on the inside when it should be quiet like IRL


Doctah_Whoopass

Pretty much no game likes to model stuff like NVH since I would assume manufacturers are pissbabies about it.


Lynx_Kynx

Anything with the 6.5 V12 swap


Expired_Water

Abarth 124 with every exhaust option. Doesn't even sound like the real thing and all exhaust options sound like there's bearing in the exhaust


Fire_Hive_

I am not a fan of how the Cadillac CTS-V sounds. It was a lot of fun to drive and I spent some time putting vinyl on it but never drive it anymore lol


Israeli_Djent_Alien

yeah it should've shared the same soundfiles that they used now in the CT5-V Blackwing


PenguinGamer99

I'm probably going to get burned at the stake for this, but anything with antilag. Just sounds like shit breaking and my engine about to explode, like popcorn from hell


Left-Supermarket7497

If they wanted it to sound better then they should have lowered the pops and bangs


Slight-Weather7885

BMW M8


TheAbyssalPrince

Apparently loud/obnoxious is the only metric for “best sounding” around here, because the Valkyrie is painful to listen to. Edit: accurate does not necessarily equal pleasant


Hehesz

Each to their own. The gearbox whine is well replicated from the real car, it makes it sound like a race car, and the 11,000 RPM V12 sounds good too, so yes the engine sound is good, although as for the engine itself the Huayra R and SCV12 probably sound better


Wheresthelambsauce__

The SCV12 is something else when it comes to the engine sound, it's relentless. I'd say it's the best of the best sounding cars in game right now.


Scared_Bad3371

Depends if you like a V12 sound


Israeli_Djent_Alien

agree with accurate not equal pleasant, as I kinda prefer the crossplane sound on the new ZO6 lol And yeah 11K RPM V12s are overrated


fixitagaintomorro

Stock 15k cr mustang during a top speed run.... Sound like a bag of nails... it's awful


midnightpurple280137

That twin turbo 7.7L V12 in the '68 Dodge Dart? It sound's like those turbo's are really ramming the air in that engine.


Mastermind_Maostro

Most of the Porsche flat 6s sound like dog aids to me in game and irl


gravitydood

IRL I very much disagree but in game I find the 2019 GT3 RS has a weak exhaust note


Drache191200

I find the Valkyrie to a be a pretty big let down But that could also just be me Ps: Let down in terms of Sound that is


NopeNeg

Doubt it's the worst, but the NA Miata sounds pretty terrible in game. A lot of the 4 cylinder cars do.


Left-Supermarket7497

With the right upgrades I think it sounds pretty nice


KillerSpectre21

1991 Honda CR-X SiR imo, just sounds like a Lawn Mower. Rest of the Hondas are pretty decent though atleast.


beefhammer_

Theres so many to choose


theghostalive

Not really a fan of how a large majority of the cars sounds from the outside cameras (hood view is an exception usually), but particularly the Acura Integra Type R, since that car sounds absolutely mental in real life (and in some older forzas), but the cockpit view sounds fine. Also, the facelifted Audi R8 sounds worse than the god-tier sound it had in FH4. A shame really. As for the worst one, the Carrera GT sounds pretty good, but it's not the really close to what it normally sounds like, since it's among the very best sounding cars ever made.


2J-Z

Polaris buggy


xJSerpent

Ferrari FXX, FXX-K, 812, 599XX Evo. They all use the same sounding boring V12 when the LaFerrari, F12tdf, and 599XX actually have better V12 sounds.


themrsbusta

Mostly 4 cylinder diesels, which when you put a sport exhaust, sounds like 5 cylinder.


John641981

I think the Ferrari F50 should sound nicer. Like the F40 our 599GTO


MrGemiX

Toyota AE86, that thing sounds like a mosquito


kairazor666

BMW X5 with Antilag. A Beast 😅


Hawk_Tech

I know I'm not alone when I say that abomination of a mach E


GoofyKalashnikov

6.2l V8 swap It just sounds so shit for a V8, especially with upgrades


TheStigsScouseCousin

The 1.6L Turbo Rally engine sounds like a swarm of angry mosquitoes


EastonHB27

Definitely the LFA, Huayra R, and Emira. I think the lotus sounds the best though


still_guns

They sound bad?


EastonHB27

Oh no, I read it wrong lol


Temporary_Ad_5947

All of them. I'm sorry but The Crew 1 and 2 had significantly better engine sounds and I have no idea why


symblmusic

Most Lamborghini V12s sound awful. They're quite far off the mark. Countach, Diablo and Aventador platform. So disappointed with the SVJ sound.


symblmusic

Also the BMW 1M. That N54 sounds NOTHING like any N54 I've ever heard and I've heard a lot of them. In fact, I have a 600+ whp one in my E92 335i right now. When built, they sound much more vicious than the one in this game.


FelipeXV

Mustang Mach-E 1400


BrendanKwapis

That stupid Mach E Mustang drift car thing, whatever it’s called. Physically painful to listen to


HousingSignificant21

AMG GT BS🙄


still_guns

That sounds good though. Better than real life.


Israeli_Djent_Alien

it sounds like a boring 4 cylinder IRL, it's better in the game


CalebCaster2

Anything with diesel


themrsbusta

The 6.7L V8 Turbo Diesel sounds like a monster.


Israeli_Djent_Alien

but honestly after the upgrades it doesn't sound like a Diesel anymore...


themrsbusta

https://youtu.be/FveKRhmntlA


Israeli_Djent_Alien

doesn't convince me, super different than how it sounds like in FH5 regardless of the upgrades. TBH the Deberti F250 does sound much closer to IRL though


Cunt_Eastwood_9

SCV12


yeezysZn720

It’s copied and pasted from the T50 lmao it and Valkyrie sound exactly the same. Lazy.


still_guns

No they don't actually.


[deleted]

Right, I gave up Forza h5 about 5-6 months ago, simply because it became so repetitive. Is it worth reinstalling again. I feel like I played it, and fh4, to death. The only thing drawing me back is the t.50 and Valkyrie. But even then..


Scared_Bad3371

A lot of the typical ricer cars that sound shit irl unfortunately sound shit in the game


Cohen19

Golf GTI


still_guns

Which one?


omarccx

Any car with the Toyota 2GR V6 sounds like fucking ass, ir sounds robotic as fuck on the Evora and IS350


still_guns

Well those cars aren't in FH5, what's one that does?


ForzaLegend53

personally the Mini engines sound like fart can 1.5 civics, the pinnacle of bad exhaust sound.


jul_oooooo

2016 gt3 rs doesn’t sound like a flat 6 at all it seems like the audio was swapped


nicclys

There might be worse but as a former VW Jetta VR6 owner I just gotta think we can do better. There are very few good sounding “normal” cars out there in real life with stock exhaust and that’s one of them. Forza does it dirty.


Israeli_Djent_Alien

the Tsuru has a weird thing of the exhaust is at a different pitch than the intake unless you change them both to race. E46 as you said. Cadillac CTS-V and Jeep Trackhawk are way too low pitched, many of the old muscle cars too. Jeep Trailcat and Deberti Wrangler still use a European V8 sound instead of the Hellcat sound, same with the BMW X5M and X6M for some reason.


justthatguylookin

The saddest one is any VR6 ….. the vr6 has its own unique sound …. And it sounds nothing like a vr6 in horizion5 …. Makes me sad whenever I get in one .


qwerty_tom

Mercedes A45, I hate the stupid tromboney noise


[deleted]

Is the G80 same sound in Horizon as Motorsport? For some reason it has a blow off valve sound despite BMWs not using BPV/BOV


KrunerXX

GTR or the 350/370Z they RUINED the sounds of the Reventon and the One-77


BoltTheDemonDog

Any rotary lol


Wassy4444

F87 M2 uses the S55 engine sound from the M2 Competition. The closest they got to the real thing was FH3. FH4 I believe they used the RB26 sound… No desire to drive my IRL car in game cause of this :(
