Annoying sound artifact

[alex.767]

I did some research, and the file causing the "pop" is PT6A-60_ENG1_PROP_1700RPM.wav
I edited it in a DAW and faded out the end slightly.
Now the pop is gone.
Edit: You'll hear the pop if you play this sound file on it's own.

Very nice that you were able to trace this back to a source file

It would be great if "alex.767" and "Ephedrin" could also confirm this file is causing the problem on their systems. This way we can include a revised sample as a fix in a future version/patch.

Yep, I hear it in that file as well. Thanks all!

Thank you for confirming this, a revised version of this sample will be included in a future update

I hear it in that file too. But I also heard the click/pop sound cruising at 1500RPM, but a lot quieter.

Thank you! Great tracking support btw =)

What's the status of this fix? It's been a while...

Did the sound guy pack it in?

This definitely is still a problem with the latest update. I thought I was going crazy but I am glad to know I am not the only one with this problem. I really think the soundpack is very well done minus the sound popping issue. Looking at this in Audacity, it looks like some of the sound files may be clipped. I am gonna try turning down the volume a bit on them and see if that fixes it.

Hi all, I sent out a fix for this a long time ago and it definitely made it into the package.

For the ones that are still having issues; could you please verify on your end that the culprit is PT6A-60_ENG1_PROP_1700RPM.wav? Move that file from the \sound directory to a temp directory and run the sim (preferably a couple of times) and check if the ticking/clipping is gone.

I ended up slightly reducing the volume of this particular file in Audacity and this resolved the problem. Thanks

I have this ticking on .30, does anyone have the fixed file?

[spencer.hoefer]

I decided to revisit the King Air a couple of months later after some more updates, but it appears the sound anomaly is still there. Removing the PT6A-60_ENG1_PROP_1700RPM.wav file listed above seems to resolve the issue. If its not the file itself, I know there are some sound issues going back to the FSX days so it wouldn't surprise me if some of the small sound bugs are still present in p3d. I have seen these "ticking" sound problems come up with other addon aircraft in the past.
