Transmission Whine Component

TransmissionWhineComponent inspector

Simulates straight-cut gearbox whine sound. Most prominent on rally and racing cars with straight-cut gears. Pitch follows engine RPM, volume follows load.

AudioSource positioned at Settings > Transmission Position.

Parameters

Volume Mix

  • RPM Intensity (0-1): Base whine intensity at idle with no load.
  • Acceleration Intensity (0-1): Whine intensity under acceleration (load-based).
  • Coast Intensity (0-1): Whine intensity when coasting or engine braking.
  • Smoothing (0-1): Smoothing speed for pitch and volume transitions.

Pitch Mix

  • Start Pitch: Pitch at idle RPM.
  • Pitch Range (0-5): Pitch increase from idle to redline.
  • Reference Max RPM: Engine RPM at which pitch reaches maximum.

Behavior

  • Automatically mutes in neutral or at very low RPM.
  • Coast detection: High RPM with minimal throttle input.
  • Volume scales based on engine load during acceleration, RPM during coasting.
