This is just what I need...better squawk and screech...er, or...improved lateral transfer audio indicator. Thanks.

Thank you, sir!

Great! I was looking for a new "realistic" skid sound some days ago (see request area) and you just did a very good one. Thank you so much!!

[Pedro]

Thanks Gammaworx!

[Saiph]

Hey, I see what you did there! Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you re-invented the sound that the wheel makes! Good idea!

Thanks GAMMA

[Pedro]

Again thanks Gammaworkx!

I tested the sound and there is nothing wrong with it.
Only after awile I got the feeling I was beeing chased by  a hurd of Indian's.
So I changed back to my old sound ;(

Thanks anyway!

Excelent work - such a great improvement.

JacnGille , John Woods , mouse , dede-driver Pedro , Saiph , PH152 , BrettSRMZ... Thank you , for commenting ...

The sample was made from two  stereo pairs,one front narrow higher pitched and one back wider lower pitched set  , then offset  to simulate four tires sliding at different pitches and times , over the duration of the skid effect...And Pedro is right you have to get use to the sound of your tires and the sounds of everyone around you too ...but thats the way it was  and now you have a way of simulating a little more immersion... adding too the sense of the drivers perception and enviromental surrounding...

I'm not sure it's for me. I'd be very worried if my tyres were making that noise on track.
Engines are usually louder than tyres anyway.

[GAMMAWORX]

some drivers were looking for a skid wave they could hear over the other sounds ... just posted it as a solution option ... alot depends on your driving style as to how often you'll  hear it

[gleisdreieck]

sounds pretty good

Thank you

Much thanks to Gammaworx for his upload. I found it a bit too loud for me. Not wanting to install a program I might never use again on my new Windows install, I used an online wav file editor - https://www.audiotoolset.com/editor - to increase the volume of the original skid.wav by fifty percent.

Gammaworx's must have been around double the original volume. Also it was longer. This file is the same length as the original.
