Heatblur's TF30 very clearly doesn't have this and sounds just like the TF30 videos you linked, adjusting for the different audio quality. Yes, they both sound "old," i.e. screechy and multi-layered. But that's a quality shared by all old jet engines — an example you can still experience in person are the Speys on old Gulfstream IIs and IIIs. You can instantly tell when one is landing and taxiing from the sound alone (and of course, taking off from how loud it is). And as others mentioned, idle sounds as heard on a video will vary considerably depending on what's recording it, camera distance, etc. Jet engines are so darn loud that they sound completely different up close than far away, because when close you're either wearing hearing protection (which changes the sound) or the noise is loud enough that it's just painful white noise. The same applies to microphones, which is why you were able to find videos that seemingly sound different than what you find ingame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
