Default Downtown Acceleration HD video

I uploaded in HD, not sure if it carried through. V8 sounds echo off skyscrapers very well! Try and guess the city for bonus points if you like.

V8 4.0L Acceleration Sound, Jaguar XJ - YouTube

I couldn't get going very fast, every light turned red! This engine gets screamy at high RPM though, sounds muscular around 4000.

We just see the skyscrapers rather than the city lol . Anyway, your video is like no other and your ride sounds nice but I heard too much creaking sound may be it was from the stuffs inside the car or non car related noises

Different for sure. Car sound good.

Love the metronome, if the car was over here, that would be one sound that is never heard.

Sorry about all the background noise. The first sound is a Valentine 1 radar detector beeping. When I pull out of the first parking space, you hear the sunroof motor and the turn signal, and then later you hear a lot of turn signal sound, the "horse hooves on cobbles" sound. I thought the angle was neat, the skyscrapers don't give the impression of speed but they were pretty. I will get a "Ronin" style, "between-the-front-headrests" shot next time I'm downtown, so you can see the city streets and the dashboard.

Sorry about the background noise, it did turn out a little rough.

Were you taking it up to the redline? From what I can tell in the video, my engine actually sounds a little different. I have a little less exhaust noise and a bit more engine sound (from the engine itself and not the exhaust). But its hard to tell from a cell phone camera.

The Cell camera is to blame, it never got over 4500 RPM. It sounds very screamy on the camera. It picks up so much background, the mic isn't great. The sound for me is mostly engine, I can't hear much exhaust either.
