Why does the engine sound in the cockpit sound like a blower?


Recommended Posts

Just bought the Malibu Mirage and curious why the engine sound in the cockpit sounds like a blower?  Gets really obvious when throttle is increased and really loud at full throttle.  If I go idle throttle it's not as obvious and can mostly hear the prop turning. Is that from the turbo?  Obviously never been in a plane like this so expected more of a "hefty" sounding engine noise in the cockpit.

The soundset is imitating noise cancelling headsets.  I replaced mine with sounds from another aircraft.

 

Here's a thread where everyone's discussing the options...

The Malibu has a simply awful soundset.  If the intent was to emulate noise cancelling headsets, they've done a poor job as I've mentioned in other discussions.  I've replaced the sounds with the Arezone soundset specifically made for this plane, and it's helped immensely with the overall immersion.

Well, that's the story I heard.  ^_^  I've never worn a pair of those things (still have my old Clark's).  They do sound weird.  I might pick up those AreZone sounds.  Haven't bought anything else over the holidays.
