Taxi Sound Improvement – Lack of Dynamic Variation & Nose Gear Noise

[Manuel1989]

Hello,

I really appreciate the work put into the A350, but I’ve noticed that the taxi sound lacks realism and dynamic variation based on speed.

Issues observed:

• The taxiing sound remains too constant, with no noticeable difference between low, medium, and high speeds.
• On a real A350, the nose gear sound is much more noticeable, especially at low speeds, with audible vibrations over taxiway joints and a slight metallic shock absorber noise.
• At higher speeds (before takeoff), the rolling sound becomes deeper and more continuous, which is currently missing.

Suggested improvements:
- Add more dynamic variations in wheel noise depending on speed and ground surface.

- Enhance the nose gear sound, especially at low speeds, for better authenticity.

- Improve the transition between slow taxi, fast taxi, and takeoff roll to avoid a repetitive looping sound.

Is this something that could be improved in a future update?
Thanks in advance for your feedback and hard work!

Ya, I have zero ambient sounds when taxiing. No nose gear noise, no rattles or shaking of things in the galley...absolutely nothing.

agreed. just taxiied at EDDM at idle and below 40kts it is very repetitive, sounds like a little drummer boy. found this also quite annoying TBH

Also, was nose gear sound turned down in the latest .3 update? This time I could hardly hear the nose gear winds when retracting the gear after takeoff

Has anyone else experienced a loud turbine noise while taxiing the aircraft at speeds above 5 knots? It sounds as if the cockpit window is open, and you can hear the surroundings of the airport along with turbine noises. Additionally, while taxiing, there is a loud knocking sound every 3 seconds. This noise doesn't seem related to the nose gear but rather resembles someone knocking on the cockpit door."

Would you like any adjustments to this?
