Follows your real speed
GPS speed in, revs out. Floor it and the engine revs harder and shifts later. Lift off and it crackles on the overrun.
TeslaSound · engine sound for EVs
TeslaSound plays a live engine through your car's speakers, and it follows your real speed. It burbles at idle, revs when you floor it, shifts gears and crackles when you lift off. Open it in the Tesla browser and go. Nothing to install.
Hear the V8 Muscle demo run. Sound on.
0:00 / 0:37
Recorded straight from TeslaSound's own synthesizer: the demo run from Test drive mode. In the car, the same sound follows your speed live.
Not a loop
Most fake engine noise loops a recording, so it never really matches the car. TeslaSound builds the sound in real time from your speed. It models the firing order, every exhaust pulse, the pipes, the intake roar and the gearbox, so what you hear is what a real engine would do at that speed.
GPS speed in, revs out. Floor it and the engine revs harder and shifts later. Lift off and it crackles on the overrun.
Automatics, dual-clutch and a proper manual with a clutch. It blips and rev-matches on the way down when you brake.
Intensity, Character and Crackle. Go from a stock, muffled engine to a lumpy cam with open pipes, pops and bangs.
No car nearby? Press the Gas and Brake pedals on screen, or play the demo run. Works on a phone or a laptop too.
The garage
Engines modelled on real cars, made-up ones, an electric buzz and a few you would never find at a dealer. Pick one before you drive, switch any time.
Four cold-gas thrusters
No engine at all. Silent until you floor it, then a roaring blast of supersonic air.
Made-up flat-six · 10 gears
A car no factory ever built. Screams to 9,000 rpm through ten short gears.
4.0 L flat-six · 7-speed PDK
A flat-six that keeps pulling all the way to 9,000 rpm.
6.2 L crossplane V8 · 6-speed
The deep burble of a big V8 with dual exhaust.
6.5 L V12 · 8,900 rpm
A V12 howl that climbs and climbs.
Supercharged 6.2 L V8 · manual
Supercharger whine, a hand-shifted 6-speed and the clunk of the lever.
Halloween special
No engine, just ghosts. A heartbeat at a stop, a ghost choir as you drive, a church bell when you stop.
Electric motor
An electric buzz. Deep when slow, lighter when fast, near-silent on regen.
4.0 L twin-turbo V8
A heavy, lumpy idle and a gritty snarl to 6,800 rpm.
1.6 L turbo V6 hybrid
A buzzy race car idle and seamless shifts up to 12,000 rpm.
6.0 L V12 · paddle shift
A deep, smooth idle thump and a hard-edged howl to 8,200 rpm.
6.5 L V12 · single-clutch
A raspy idle, a scream to 8,500 rpm and crackle when you lift off.
4.0 L twin-turbo V8 estate
A round burble when cruising and a full roar under load.
New cars land in the garage all the time, real and made-up, and they show up in the app as soon as they are ready. Got an engine you would love to hear in your EV? Tell us at lifemock@gmail.com.
Car names only describe the style of sound. Every sound is made by our own code, no recordings.
In the car
Use the Tesla browser. Bookmark it so it is one tap away next time.
The engine is driven by your GPS speed, so without location it cannot rev.
It plays through the car speakers, like music. Accelerate harder for more revs.
Blip the throttle while you wait for green.
