Painful buzzing sound in Bleak City

Post by RoRo »

Hi, so in the alternate map of Bleak City, with The Big Ring and Abandoned Mall, there's a pretty awful buzzing sound whenever anything turbo-related is collected. The buzzing will last the entirety of the turbo, and it's pretty loud and painful to listen to. I don't know if this is just me? Anyone else having this issue?

Could be random. I dunno. For me, I noticed it happened when anything turbo-related was going on. Me or opponents.

And thank you WASP2145X, I submitted a bug report.

You're definitely not alone there. Me and Hex1gon have both encountered this. Curiously, it didn't happen with certain engine sounds. Regardless, the findings were reported to the helpdesk at the time.

Ahh. Okay. Well good to know others reported this issue too. Hopefully they'll figure this out soon. It was my favorite map in Reincarnation. :)

I previously did not get this bug, since unlocking the Suppressor I have now started getting it, but it's not a turbo buzz, it happens for me at the start of the race (Classic Carma for me) and lasts for about 5minutes, I does stop eventually but I now understand how you feel about the buzzing.

My OS is Windows10 64bit,

My soundcard is a Creative Soundblaster Z.

I'm running Windows 7. And I have Realtek audio.

And yeah WASP, you see what I mean by it being pretty painful. Makes it worse I use headphones. x_x;

Same problem here, reported it a while ago on bugger. I'm on Windows 10, with Xonar D2X; the buzzing is only heard through my rear speakers (I have a 5.1 setup).
Because 10 billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral...
it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness.
