Car Sounds: Crafting every click, rev, and beep
Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
Some car sounds are more obvious like the horn or engine... but what about the not-obvious-until-you-point-them-out sounds like the hollow thud of a trunk or the click of a latch? The sounds a car makes are so closely associated with quality, so how, exactly, do car makers handle this aspect of the driving experience? Featuring Car Enthusiast & Sound Mixer Brian Garfield, David Zenlea from Road & Track, and Tom Teknos from Ford.
Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced by Defacto Sound.
