F1 Sound Battle

[@Mr24AB]

This sound can help Schumi for recovering often music etc is used for this situation when people are in coma.

[@somanathganesalingam8653]

thats what I was thinking

[@GripEnemy.]

3:25 my God. Its just heavenly. Ferrari V10 is absolutely mesmerizing!!!!

[@jayive34]

I come back to this video once in a while to remember what true F1 sounds like.

[@GTAManRCR]

The 90s and 2000s were the golden decades for F1

[@THAbeaniee]

Gives me goosebumps hearing these again! I feel like a kid again!

[@scrfce123]

I was at the Melbourne GP last week. The RAAF F/A-18 on full reheat was by far, the loudest thing at the race. I noticed people with ear plugs still blocking their ears. When the V10's were around, the F/A-18 flybys were quiet by comparison. I can remember clearly hearing the cars from my house during the practice sessions, and my house is about 10 kilometers away from the track! Now, you need to be within 2 km of the track to even notice the sound.

[@ChrisRefalo]

Wow, you are very lucky to have experienced the golden age of F1 in person!

[@jayive34]

V10 is my favourite. Reminds me of when I would watch the race with my dad on those lazy summer Sunday morning.

[@MDDeGrande1994]

Same

[@StaKind85]

Does anyone else get chills from this as if listening to good music?! Wow it really is like music to my ears. The V12 sounds most "in tune" to me though. Beautiful. Great video thanks for sharing. God those first few V12 ones are so badass.

[@ChrisRefalo]

Well, I've heard V6 Turbo F1 cars in person recently, and they sound amazing. It's hard to compare it to the sound of a v8/v10/v12, it's not a high pitched screaming tone but a deeper, more meaner sounding tone. You can really hear the power when boost kicks in. Also the turbo whistle/spool sounds epic when boost is building up. And next year's V6's rev higher than what they did in the mid 80's, so I still think they will be the best sounding race cars out of any series.

[@hankbluebullr4661]

Didn’t age very well (unfortunately)

[@kling2296]

The v10s were very good looking cars as well!

[@DocDudix]

And then the vacuum cleaners came along...

[@BeanDip96_]

Yeah Dyson has been surprisingly successful in their first season on the grid. I would have expected stiff competition from the Oreck and Shark Manufacturers, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Although It will be quite interesting next year with McLaren making their much anticipated re-alliance with Dirt Devil.

[@mclarenguy22]

...and sucked up the sounds of F1 for good. :( Sound IS a vital aspect, and it's turning fans off.

[@ElCaPiTaNelalelu]

yeah... F1 and fuel economy... I would like to hear Mr Sennas thoughts about today...

[@ChrisRefalo]

ElCaPiTaNelalelu You do realise F1 was a fuel economy formula in the mid 80's when they had very small fuel tanks that could only just last a race distance right? It was common for a lot of the field to run out of fuel in the last 5 laps.

[@username666galadrihm6]

+Chris Refalo omg... less fuel=lighter car... common sense??

[@kwl189]

Just wow. Gets better every time I listen to it.

[@RamonNFSpro]

Oh Naw the V16's Sound so Evil.

[@JadeEyedWolf]

I love them all!! The V12 is silky smooth and well balanced. The V10 is a symphony of mechanics with harmonic overtones you only get with I5's and V10's. The V16 (which is actually an H16, not a V) is a ferocious, angry, snarling beast that I just LOVE!! However, having to pick only one, I think it'd be the V10 for me. If I had to listen to a CD with nothing on it but one type of engine as the music, the V10 would be my soundtrack of choice! I just LOVE those harmonic overtones! So unique!!

[@itstali25]

is it sad that I got teary eyed listening to this, its the most beautiful sound in the world...... amazing

[@viper1dr]

awesome, absolutly awesome. turn on your speaker to max. even great.

[@gsxrcbrfzr]

Unreal beauty of engine sound! Thanks for posting&sharing it !!!

[@mikegodsell8537]

thanks so much for including the brm, has to be a contender for all time greatest sounding engine.

[@BeanDip96_]

What F1 needs to do is end spec-racing and go back to the types of very broad engine rules from the 60's where where there is a very small amount of parameters placed on the engine and it was basically run what you brung.

[@ChrisRefalo]

@Terminigga Modulating pedals to keep boost up throughout a turn would be much harder than current F1. Keeping a turbo on boost around a corner would be much harder and create more passing oppurtunities since some drivers would be able to keep higher amounts of boost coming onto a straight. Also, if they use very powerful and laggy turbos, the car would wheelspin soon as it comes on boost.

[@bugpack6]

God!! Will they ever go back to this. The only thing other than fighter jets that give me chills.

[@onydude]

man the v10s sound so freakin fast

[@DELRELES]

Good work.The sound is very good(superb in some cases) and the images plus the editing are good too.To indicate what engine you're about to hear is also a good detail.As a musician,my favourite music in this video is the one coming from the V12. Thank you DRF71N for your good work.Keep going,mate! DELRELES.

[@bb1982nl]

i Remember being at Spa as a kid in 1996 hearing the last ferrari V12, seeing the last Mclaren in Marlboro collors... man.. those were the days

[@asshatnowhere159]

the recording you hear comes from the BRM V16 P15, a supercharged v16 engine capable of 15k rpms. often the car is confused with the BRM H16. as the name would imply, it is 16 cyl configured in an H formation, this means they are basically two flat 8's on top of each other. the only recording I heard of it was being revved a little bit

[@C64SX]

@Polybun The recording of the BRM is from 2004. You get it on a CD if you purchase the book 'Into the red' by Nick Mason and Mark Hales. All the cars in the book are/were owned by Nick Mason (don't know if he has sold any of them since) and the CD contains recordings of some of the cars in the book. Recordings that they made for the book. Highly recommended :)

[@ChrisRefalo]

@1300l Main reason for going 6 cyl is not only to be 'eco friendly', but it's to make it more relevant to actual road cars. Not many manufactures make V8/V10/V12 road cars anymore, and by allowing 6cyl turbo engines, many more manufactures would think F1 is a viable option and enter it.

[@AKAHowitzer]

DRF71N your vids are the best. AWESOME. I would so love to hear some more of this.

[@ViperSRTnACR]

What I wouldn't give to learn and drive an F1 car or even a training car. Imagine the pure power as you rev out to 20K rpms only to rapidly downshift for a turn, feel the G's as you round it, then are thrust back in the seat again as you throttle out past 185+ mph with ease.

[@pcass31]

no other man made machine sound will ever come close to the sound of an f1 car for me its the v 12 but the v 10 is nearly just as good.That high pitch scream is heaven.the v12 where she brakes and he feathers the accelerator is the best bit pure class!

[@coydog7902]

The surround sound IS AWESOME!!!!!!

[@Buzzberd]

The BRM! It makes some of the most distinctive sounds I've ever heard from just about any F1 engine. Including the Matra V12 (which you neglected to include in you video BTW) which I've always thought sounded tremendous. The thing about the BRM V16 though is that it's roughly 50 yrs old and it's only 1.5 liters! But my GOD what a sound!

[@schumihugo]

V10 Ferrari > ALL

[@OWECA]

A little bit of wee comes out every time I hear this! Total heaven!!

[@trenchXspike]

That V16 sounds amazing.

[@gtrwarnock]

What a video!!! thanks so much, you should do modern F1 v8 vs V12 F1 vs V10 or mabye some iconic le mans sounds

[@ChrisRefalo]

@Buzzberd i didn't 'neglect' to include the Matra V12, its just that I didn't have a recording when I made this vid. In my V12 Sound Collection vid, it's included, albeit its very short and not the best of quality. Glad you enjoyed the vid tho!

[@michaelstead3567]

V10 but those V16's with a proper gear box would take the win. What a meaty growl! V10's come from that magical time of F1

[@crowjr2]

That old V12 wins by a mile. It develops this beautiul harmonic-type sound in it's upper rev range that sounds like nothing else. I do love the sheer volume and pitch of the V10, though. I saw F1 V10's live several times, and you just can't describe the volume or the pitch of the sound. It's pretty thrilling.

[@v10mclaren]

i love them all but that V10 just has such an amazing scream to it. if pure energy made a noise, it would sound just like that

[@kalmond1]

i dont know why there are not more fans of the v16. it's one of the most sick nasty throaty sounding engines i've heard...it's a beast!

[@ikmal017]

F1 2014 car sounds is just :( Even the V16 sounds better than the 2014 V6

[@MDDeGrande]

yeah and fun fact is that old and new v6s has/had more engine displacement and v16/h16 had 100cc less of engine displacement but 10 more cylinders

[@RichieSpeed]

v10 :) Glad to see you back Chris, now try and get back those million or so views you had!

[@F-Man]

The V-10's from the mid-late '90's were pretty awesome sounding, but when we got into the later years of the V-10 (like 2002-2005), some engines definitely sounded better than others. I personally think the BMW engine in the 2005 Williams sounded pretty flat, whereas the 2005 Ferrari engine sounded pretty awesome from an onboard camera, as it had a crisp high pitched scream coupled with some very nice harmonic undertones.

[@BeanDip96_]

The v10 and v12 are both incredible engines, but the in-car sound of the brm is amazing. If uve never hard it, look it up, its worth it.

[@ikmal017]

Very very beautiful, just music to my ear

[@GabrielHoy]

@DRF71N That's just how EPIC this video is.

[@Richepies1990]

These sounds that from the distance.. you just know something brutal is gonna get out of your speakers in a couple of seconds as you can here the car coming closer and closer...

[@justforever96]

They're all beautiful to me. Such precision and engineering is awe-inspiring. Yeah, F1, etc. beats all hell out of NASCAR (not too hard to do, really), but give me a ripping 4-cylinder in a Group B rally car. Don't get me wrong, I have massive respect for F1 drivers and engineers, but I can't imagine anything better than a car driving "straight sideways" around a muddy hairpin turn at 70mph, with a driver tap-dancing on the pedals hoping to hell that the spectators aren't in the track ahead.

[@MANG223]

did anyone else just keep shivering throughout this whole video?

[@Pyramid1974]

"I have massive respect for F1 drivers and engineers, but I can't imagine anything better than a car driving "straight sideways" around a muddy hairpin turn at 70mph, with a driver tap-dancing on the pedals hoping to hell that the spectators aren't in the track ahead"... I couldn't agree with you more... ~KM

[@TheRealMax14]

The V16 is an absolute piece of art for the time! just WOW MAN THE SOUND!

[@Marc180sx]

The beautiful BRM v16 is the best sounding one there!!

[@eticket70]

Man, I miss the V12s and V10s in F, such beautiful flutes churning 800-1000 BHP!

[@Rottensteam]

The first v12 downshift is so awesome!

[@rgrant3500]

man its like music to my ears. V10, the glory days.

[@twotif454]

There's a video out there of Jean Alesi testing his V12 Ferrari circa '90-'91. If you like the sound of the V12, this video is a must watch. You'll be crying by the time it's over.

[@ChrisRefalo]

@amehu If you want specific engine titles, the pictures are of the car making the noise

[@EustTube]

When the V12 downshifts getting further away! It's just heaven!

[@ChrisRefalo]

@TheRandomVids101 All the pics where just from google lol. Thanks for the kind comment

[@farhanmaleq1921]

When I'm a kid, I heard the V10 engine sound on my computer along with all other different sound effects in an unknown folder under the name "Formula One.wav"?

[@mrsides89]

@DRF71N i find it funny how i happen to stumble across this video after reading your reply to a comment i left on another video of F! engine sounds, i really love these engines they seem unnatural and i believe that's what attracts me to them

[@angeal04]

everytime i play this video, i closed my eyes, i imagine its of evryone passing by in front of me, music to my soul.. :)

[@smilzomagro]

One of the best video on you tube!! You are great!

[@TwizztidAngel]

There is nothing like the sound of an F1 car. I would have to pick the V16 as my fav. You can hear it bouncing off the rev limiter and them having to heel toe when getting into the corners. That sound is nearly lost in the new cars.

[@osobowy43]

I'll vote for the v12s. The BRM V16s send shivers down my spine, but also evoke images of death at the next corner.

[@megastef]

I fully agree. Even jet fighters in low passes are a bit less noisy :D

[@wedrive525it]

I think f1 cars sound best with error because when Richard Hammond had his first drive I was in love with the sound that Renault made. DAMN I love cars

[@winemanboy]

Music to my ears. I want to use this in my alarm clock. Thank you/Grazie!

[@McCarnut]

that V12 is the best engine sound in the world!!! i get the chills every time i watch it :D

[@DjTonioRoffo]

412T2 surely. It doesn't rev as high as the later V10's but the sound is out of this world. Most beautiful F1 car & engine ever at the hands of the craziest enigmatic driver. Jean Alesi 412T2 number 27.

[@RECEPTOR17]

Definitely the V10 for me, clean and sounds like a howling, avenging angel falling from above!

[@ChrisRefalo]

I didn't get these sounds from a cd, you can download them on the internet. Just search for F1 sounds in google and your bound to find something good! Hope this helps.

[@TizElVito]

Keep fighting Michael

[@jp_0118]

I see your profile pic...

[@RistoKappet]

all of them are equally beast and amazing, endlessly better than the puny v8's today. just increasing the displacement would be enough, back in the days 3.5 v8's were evil aswell.

[@t4d0k]

the brutal v12, the violent screaming of the v10 and the v16 monster... all fucking awesome!!!

[@Salracing]

Any F1 engine sounds fantastic, but what a glorious sound the V12 makes ....

[@koniar1]

W 16 sounds like wild animal! IMO this is the best sound!

[@ChrisRefalo]

Thanks for the kind comments!

[@ChrisRefalo]

Actually, the 4 and 6 cylinder turbos of the 80's made way more power than any other motor in F1. Also traction control had nothing to do with why the went to V8, V8's had traction control in 2006 and 2007.

[@LanTronXoe]

@theparsonsman it'd last a bit longer if exotic material restriction is lifted as well.

[@megastef]

In fact, V8 are mandatory till 2013. During the 90's, there's been an era of relative freedom for motoring engineers. NA engines had a 3.500cc displacement, and V8, V10 and V12 layouts were allowed. By the time, V8 were light, with low end torque, but were limited in rpm, and were able to win only on short tracks such as Monaco. V12 were more powerful (high rpms) but too heavy and large. That's why V10 ruled this era (1000hp for the last BMW 3.000 V10).

[@pichus144]

i love the v10 sound its really awesome !:D

[@dudegotskills]

Makes my hair stand on end! Holy smokes that's THE best sound in the world!

[@ETRSTUDIO]

V16, sound from hell, the scream of a demon!!! AWESOME!!!

[@DawgPoundBrutus]

Ferrari 412T1 & the 641 sound incredible. Followed by the Mclaren Honda MP4/5 V10s

[@65DDTG]

@ 4:16 when the 16 revs up high, it's so alien. You don't hear sounds like that normally. So my vote goes to the 16, just for the sheer mad-factor.

[@LostAI117]

That V16 has got to be the most savage sound I have ever heard. I wish I could see on in real life.

[@ChrisRefalo]

@DELRELES Thanks mate, really appreciate it

[@ChrisRefalo]

And on the tyre management issue, I think this year it has gone too far with tyre management, however if the tyre wear was not an issue at all, then the fastest car would win all the time. It's a tough topic, but I think 2011-2012 seasons had the best compromise between tyre wear and having to push hard during a race.

[@ChrisRefalo]

@nativebrother Yeah there is absolutely nothing like it. The tension 5 minutes before the race starts is almost unbearable. And when the cars are screaming around on the other side of the track and you can hear them coming closer and closer, it's the most exciting and the best feeling ever (without driving the car that is). Even though I've been to 3 F1 races, I still get excited like a little kid everytime they are about to come in to view. Everyone has to experience it once before they die.

[@volante8657]

@wootsilot 6 cylinder is the simplest engine layout, that's why europeans (especially germans) prefer 6 cylinder

[@Myrtilys]

I'd have to go with: 1) V10 2) V12 3) V16 I LOVE the growl of the BRM V16, but it just doesn't compare to the purr the V12 and V10 give. I'd happily put it in a Mustang or something, though. :D

[@DerDude7894]

THIS is the best video on youtube, thanks!

[@mint108]

1:36 to 2:04 is such a wicked crescendo

[@Diode5]

The down shift sounds better on the V12. I remember it in person being a deep sound and the slower down shift changing gives it that great popping sound. The last of the V10 engines rev bloody hard and the gear changing is just so fast that it just sounds faster than the V12, and it too has that great performance sound to it.

[@MrLaner110]

:25 to :30 sounds like a jetski almost... This is incredible, worthy of a Big Lebowski style sleep soundtrack!

[@chuckyboy6977]

That V16 sound like two V8 push rod NASCARs in perfect harmony..

[@kkooss16]

V10's simply for that violently thunderous music they make. Although it all sounds so good.
