P-39 grinding sound

[76IAP-Black]

I would like to know, what causes the "grinding" noise on the P-39 when you move the camera infront of the plane during the flight.

I'm not an expert, so im asking the community

[EAF19_Marsh]

Nose gearbox?

[LLv24_SukkaVR]

The loooong propeller shaft?

[76IAP-Black]

To be honest i have no idea, would be interesting what the Devs can say about it?

[HansHansen]

Supercharger is my guess

[76IAP-Black]

Thats what i have found, and threre is nothing i would say, it could make that sound

I thought they said it was the propeller gear box, seems overdone. Videos of P-63 taxing (similar engine and layout) from front you don't hear that sound.

Funny thing is, nobody else mentioned it in the past, yes it seems to overdone in the noise level 

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

From what I know it's caused by the propellor shaft/gearing. Theres a couple of videos demonstrating that sound.

Danke für die Klarstellung! ?

Never knew that it was that loud, no other simulater i have played, had it as a feature.

Nice addition but still a bit irritating 

[Diggun]

Not as irritating as having to fly the damn thing into combat...

Oh you’re talking about that ‘whirring’ sound. Hehe. wouldn’t call that grinding... 

Gotta be nose gear box..

pretty unique sound ya?  

[Feathered_IV]

I noticed that too.  As you pan around it reminds me of that noise Jim Carrey makes in Dumb and Dumber.  

[TRRA15]

It's gearbox whine. Here's a video from inflight, P-63 though.....

 

Loud! The engine reciprocation clatter and exhaust, and the gearbox whine combine to form a rhapsody.

Perhaps it's the pilot's teeth grinding, wishing the P-47 was released this week!?

Just a thought.

However, I'm sure it can't be anything to do with him having a big shaft between his legs though!?

As Han would say: “C’mon, baby, hold together!”

It's high RPM but relatively low torque as the gearbox is in the nose. The pilot has metal seat so it's doubtful that anything would happen to a crotch. If that was so worrisome then what 109s pilots must had been feeling with the cannon breach in similar place? Imagine a faulty MK108 shell exploding there...

I rather think that you missed the joke.
