Why do inline four engines sound so good in bikes and so bad in cars?
>>
>>28966600
They spin to 14k rpm or higher
>>
>>28966600
Suzuki GSX-R1000 - Current and newer models (2017 to 2026): Redline is 14,500 rpm

How many cars can rev their engines to 14,000 rpm?

well yes, but car inline four sound farty at any rpm, bike inline fours dont. does this have something to do with the thinner cylinder walls in bike engines?
>>
>>28966645
It has to do with rpm, lower rpm means the exhaust pulses can be heard. Bikes live higher in the rev range, cruising at 5k-7krpm means the exhaust sounds less farty. Large displacement low rpm vtwins have very distinct exhaust pulses which can sound as farty as cars

Ive never heard a large vtwin sound even remotely farty though, can you show me an example?

I4 cars do sound nice the problem is that hardly anyone knows how. It's like making an instrument. Too long, wrong shape, etc. will make it all sound different.

The only somewhat good sounding naturally aspirated inline four from a car that I can think of the 4age,and even it is kinda farty. the only way to make a 4 cylinder car engine sound good that I know is removing the exhaust completely, but then it becomes unnearably loud to drive
>>28966720
who doesnt? that shameless slut is just begging to get navel-raped flashing her tummy like that
>>
because most 4 cylinders are ass and 6 cylinders that aren't cammed for low end torque are gutless on the street
>>
>>28966600
It’s cause they have big ass cams. You’ll sometimes hear them lope at idle.
>>
>>28966849
This, that's why regular ass cars with VVT sound like a blender before the valvetrain begins to breathe
>>
>>28966600
Good question

>>28966600
because ITBs and high rpms are pure sex

>>28966600
Multiple reasons. On bike engines.
>Naturally aspirated engines.
>Some, specifically older engines are air/oil cooled.
>Engines rev higher.
>Sequential shifting transmissions, often with a wet clutch.
>No power steering, no AC systems.
>less frequently running cooling fans, most bikes dont have any cooling fans.
>Engines at open air, no body around that muffles engines, also no "beauty covers" on top the cylinders.
>Less strict emissions and noise limit laws.

You're listening to the wrong inline four engines, OP.

Clearly you don't own a Honda with a K24A engine

They sound good in cars
>>
>>28967655
speaking of, why do marine engines sound deeper than car engines of same displacement?
>>
>>28968610
Probably because they have so little in the way of resonating in the exhaust system, same with semi trucks
>>
>>28968610
water muffling the high frequencies?
>>
>>28968644
Probably this if the exhaust is going into the water, I was recently on a yacht with two big ass diesel engines and it sounded and smelled fuckin amazing.

They typically run a lot spicier than their roadgoing variants because they don't have any emission standards to conform to and essentially have an infinite cooling capacity. They run more timing, an more aggressive cam and more compression plus they're always under constant load.

>>28968646
Could have been some dirty old Detroit Diesels. They sound and smell amazing.

It was this thing from 2016, pretty modern with 2 x Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines but had that amazing old diesel smell when they throttled them up.

>dirty old Detroit Diesels. They sound and smell amazing
Hell yeah they do, we had a running Detroit Diesel 2 stroke supercharged v6 mounted on a stand for display at the army school of engineering where I learned to rebuild diesels a long time ago

Why are the best designs stuck in the shittiest games?
>>
>>28966600
bigger mystery for me is why modern inline 6 engines sound so horrible, like I'll take high revving 4 over that.
>>
>>28968893
It's the turbocharging, just kills the sound of anything you put it on, that's why Ferarri 458 became an instant classic once the twin turbo 488 came out, the sound was just gone.
