Nick's Car Sound Journey
- Nick Spradlin fell in love with car sounds attending car shows with his dad as a kid.
- Later, as a sound professional, he appreciated these powerful and visceral engine sounds on a deeper level.
Sound Origins: Tiny Explosions
- Car engine sounds stem from tiny but controlled internal explosions within cylinders.
- Gasoline vapor ignites in the cylinder, pushing pistons and producing the rhythmic sounds we hear as the engine runs.
Understanding RPM and Engine Sound
- RPM means revolutions per minute, indicating how many times the pistons complete their cycle each minute.
- More fuel intake increases RPMs and results in louder, faster engine sounds when accelerating.
