Car sounds. Sound effects and vehicle ambience

From sports cars like Ferraris and Porsches to hard-working vehicles like dump trucks, buses, and police cars, here’s an introduction to a wide variety of car sounds.

This playlist packs a punch with roaring engines and thunderous, large-bore exhaust notes.

Car sounds. Sound effects and vehicle ambience (21–30)

roasted sweet potato cart

Stone-baked sweet potato (Ishi Yakiimo)
roasted sweet potato cart

Stone-baked sweet potatoes that you start craving when it gets cold.

This song that every Japanese person knows? I’ve heard it varies by region.

Some places even have a “whoo” train-whistle sound.

What’s the roasted sweet potato song like where you are? Somehow I’m getting a craving for one now.

Kei car (old Jimny with a 2-stroke engine)

Driving scene of the SJ30! It sounds great♪
Kei car (old Jimny with a 2-stroke engine)

This is the sound of a kei car from about 50 years ago.

Back then, kei cars often used simple two-stroke engines.

They make a distinctive popping sound.

Because they’re loud and their exhaust smells, two-stroke engine cars are no longer used today.

garbage truck

This is the sound of a garbage collection truck that we hear regularly.

It’s the sound made while the trash is being collected.

On street corners in busy downtown areas, we see and hear it almost every morning.

It feels like a sound that hasn’t changed over the years.

This time, it’s a video of the garbage being collected.

Subaru (horizontally opposed engine)

SUBARU Technology Movie [Horizontally Opposed Engine]
Subaru (horizontally opposed engine)

Subaru with its horizontally opposed engines.

That distinctive thud-thud-thud sound is said to be caused by unequal exhaust manifold lengths.

It’s called the boxer sound.

It seems that recent Subaru models have been improved, so you don’t hear that distinctive sound anymore.

It’s a bit sad, isn’t it?

police car

It’s the sound of police cars that keep working day and night.

Hearing this sound while driving can be a bit startling, can’t it? It’s the sound of them working for our safety.

I hope we can spend our days peacefully without hearing police sirens too often.

Honda Civic (VTEC engine)

Honda’s heart: the VTEC engine #vtec #honda #civic
Honda Civic (VTEC engine)

It’s the VTEC engine, which is practically synonymous with Honda’s high-revving powerplants.

These days, many focus on fuel efficiency, but VTEC cars from a generation ago are said to produce a very appealing sound for car enthusiasts and Honda fans alike.

When the engine climbs into the high rev range, the tone changes and Honda power bursts into action.

Porsche 911 Turbo

The world’s finest super sports car! Manabu Kawaguchi of LoveCars TV test-drives the Porsche 911 Turbo! Swooning over its superb dynamic quality, he can’t help but sigh in admiration!
Porsche 911 Turbo

For middle-aged and older folks, it’s one of the first names that comes to mind when you think of sports cars.

It even appeared in the lyrics of Momoe Yamaguchi’s songs.

This time, it’s the air-cooled era 911 Turbo.

The unique engine note that only an air-cooled engine can produce—no matter when you see it, it’s cool.
