Quantum of Solace: Why did the Aston Martin make such a unique sound when it shifted?
I posted this in Off-Topic originally but based on the replies i got there must be a gas leak or something, so I am trying again here in search of some helpful answers.
Silly question really. I was watching Quantum of Solace last night, and during the opening chase I noticed that the Aston Martin made a very unique noise when it shifted gears. It's hard to describe, but it was an almost electronic and mechanical sound , if that makes any sense.
Is that just the sound that that car makes, or is it a Hollywood effect put in after the fact?
Thanks.

For example, when I first saw "The Fast and the Furious" years ago I didn't know a lot about turbo cars, and when I heard the BOV sound I assumed it was a fake Hollywood effect added after the fact. Later I found out that the sound is real. That's why I was asking here if it was fake or something that the car really does.

Yeah the off topic is full of dumbasses that find themselves really clever. Most of them are online 24-7 and they all have stupid inside jokes, and always try to insuilt anyone new that goes in there. Most of them dont even have evos!I try to steer clear of that part of the site.

It is a sound affect, as was stated many many many times. If you really needed a second thread to figure that out then maybe your mistake was all the times you didn't get on the short bus
Srsly though, nothing in movies is real. How does every car ever in a chase scene spin its rear wheels? Even the FWD ones? Or the drifting Evo in FNF3, which they had to convert to RWD to drift. Just enjoy the movie. And none of the AMs I have driven made any weird noises shifting, even the one on drag radials
And I do have an Evo, though I don't really see what that has to do with anything.

You say nothing in movies is real, and even site the Fast and Furious movies. However, I already previously indicated that someone who doesn't know a lot about turbo cars, like myself at the time, would think that the BOV noise was fake, when in fact it is a real sound.
I think it was a legitimate question asking whether it was a real sound or not, since some movies contain fake sounds for cars and others contain real sounds. I really don't understand everyone's attitudes here. I haven't belonged to a car forum in about 8-9 years, but back then the Eclipse site I belonged to was filled with helpful, courteous people. I'm surprised at the amount of hostility and general unhelpful attitude from some people here, specifically outside of the main Evo forums. I thought the purpose of this site was for Evo lovers to discuss cars?
In any case thanks to all the helpful replies i did receive, even though there seems to be concrete answer one way or the other.
