F1 sounds crap
Discussion
Oh dear.
I've hear remote controlled boats down the lake that sound more powerful. Those Citroen Saxos the kids drive around the town sound more tasty than these. What a load of rubbish!
But rather than the usual PH rant thread where people argue about whether the new cars sound good or not, how about a thread of insulting metaphor for what these new F1 cars sound like?

Amateur trackside footage sounds much better, I think FOM need to upgrade their mics as they still seem to be set up for very loud V8s.
For what it's worth I like being able to hear tyre squeal, turbo whooshing, crowd noise etc, makes it seem a bit more real, in my opinion.
I was all like it crap it's crap, but it actually adds to the watching experience for me now having watched a few practices and now qualifying , For what it's worth I like being able to hear tyre squeal, turbo whooshing, crowd noise etc, makes it seem a bit more real, in my opinion.
Being able to hear the tyres and the crowds are a bonus too, looking forward to the season ahead
I like them.
You can have a conversation in the pit lane when they are warming them up, you can hear tyres locking, fans, etc. Plus they also sound like piston engines rather than jets engines, and the removal of blown diffusers means they sound lovely on down changes rather sounding like something horribly expensive has gone wrong!

Sounds like a badger being bummed !!
Agree they sound crappy...That could be the best description for the noise yet, explains it very well I feel.
I was working with 'sounds like a knackered hoover on a deep shag' but Burman has clearly nailed it.
Bravo!
