Generic Brake squeal? Seriously?

This quote, and your profile pic... I see what you did there

 

Modern race cars can have brake squeal too. I remember the Honda F1 from 2005, its brakes squealed every time through Club corner when I was there watching the race.

 

It really is the way they are. It is very common on vintage cars, but even new cars with carbon brakes have brake squeal. If you do not like it or find it distracting just go to settings, audio, and turn the brakes setting dow to 0%. Problem solved!

 

I'm not sure we have that option on the console.

 

Well it is an option on my Xbox, so unless they changed it for PS4 users with the update it should be there.

 

There is NO brake audio adjustment in AC, on ANY platform.. you guys are clearly confused.

 

I'll have to check next time I look!

 

My 92' Honda... Lol case closed then.

 

Well this is what I see.

 

well sadly you've just discovered a bug in the console version. That setting does absolutely nothing and we should remove it.
Sorry about that.... turned out I was the one confused. :-S

 

lol outstanding !!

 

Ah.

Snowman I guess you just have to listen to those squeaky brakes then, but if you really don't believe it's a thing just watch this, around 4:20 in.

if you do not think this car is maintained to the highest level I can't help you.

For everyone else it's a Cobra lapping Laguna Seca during Monterey Motorsport Reunion, so enjoy.

 

Brakes are a bit like tyres, the amount of variation is amazing. Sometimes you hear cars with super noisy tyres that go around screaming at every corner regardless of the driver, sometimes they are super quiet. Pretty much the same thing applies to brakes, it's not simply a question of worn out pads.. it's a vibration that can have many sources and it is no indication of any kind of problem.
I like brake noise just as I like any kind of audio that gives me a feedback on what I am doing with the car... if I turn down tyres I can hardly drive.

 

Same here. I really don't understand why anyone would want to remove brake squeal. It's as much a part of the experience of driving a car as is hearing the sound of the engine.

 

My gt86 brakes were noisy as hell, even when new. The squeal went away after trackday but returned after a day or two. If you ever went to a track and listened to high performance cars' brakes they sound pretty harsh. Racecars are a different level of noisy. For low performance road cars I'd expect the brakes to be silent and noise to indicate a problem, but high performance brakes are usually noisy.

LOL What a great reply. My thoughts entirely. LOL The internet is yours for the day. Merry Christmas.

 

I have worked in many garages, I have repaired many cars and have been qualified as a brake engineer - for Kwikfit, so it counts for nought. But I did get to stay at a nice hotel and had an expenses paid vacation for a week. You can reduce a little noise, even remove it completely for a short time, but brakes on older cars especially under heavy use will make some very wild noises. To be honest I don't think AC covers some of the real braking noise, but the squeal in the Porsche 719 Spyder RS60 makes my day. MORE MORE I want more noise not less.

COOOOOOKIES!​

 

Well we've come to expect this from you boss...
but Snowman38!... come on man you really dropped the ball with this thread!

 

Honestly @Rob capewell How many other developers will own up to a mistake. Come on give credit where credit is due.
