Sounds - Tires

This section is related to the sound of tires on different road substances.

Tire Sound Events

Tire sounds are kept separate for the truck tires and trailer tires, but both have the same events and parameters.
Currently there are 4 supported substances each with their own sound event:

• asphalt
• rumble
• gravel
• grass
  

Tire Sound Parameters

Sound parameters:

• <name_of_event>/speed
  The parameter "speed" (km/h) controls the pitch and volume of the substance sound.
• skid_speed
  The parameter "skid_speed" (m/s) represents the speed of wheel slip in either direction.
• note
  The parameter "note" is present only for the "rumble" substance
  It is a frequency multiplier that is applied to the root note G and forming the melody for the singing road.
