How to make a engine revving effect with sound in Unity

To create an engine revving effect with sound in Unity, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, you will need to import an engine revving sound effect into your Unity project. You can create your own sound effect or find one online that you can use.

  2. Next, you will need to create an Audio Source component in your Unity project and attach it to the game object that you want to play the sound effect from.

  3. Once you have an Audio Source component attached to your game object, you can drag and drop your engine revving sound effect onto the "Audio Clip" field of the Audio Source component.

  4. To play the sound effect, you can use the "Play" method of the Audio Source component in a script attached to your game object. For example, you could use a script to play the sound effect when the player presses a certain button or when the engine revs up in your game.

  5. To create the effect of the engine revving up and down, you can use scripting to control the pitch of the sound effect as it plays. For example, you could increase the pitch of the sound as the engine revs up, and decrease the pitch as the engine slows down.

Example of script to make a engine revving effect with sound in Unity

Here is an example of a script that you could use to create an engine revving effect with sound in Unity:


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class EngineRevving : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Drag and drop the Audio Source component onto this field in the Inspector
    public AudioSource audioSource;

    // Use this to adjust the pitch of the revving sound
    public float pitchMin = 1.0f;
    public float pitchMax = 2.0f;

    void Update()
    {
        // Check if the player is pressing the revving button
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R))
        {
            // Increase the pitch of the revving sound
            audioSource.pitch = Mathf.Lerp(pitchMin, pitchMax, Time.time);

            // Play the revving sound if it is not already playing
            if (!audioSource.isPlaying)
            {
                audioSource.Play();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // Decrease the pitch of the revving sound
            audioSource.pitch = Mathf.Lerp(pitchMax, pitchMin, Time.time);

            // Stop playing the revving sound if the player is not pressing the revving button
            if (audioSource.isPlaying)
            {
                audioSource.Stop();
            }
        }
    }
}

This script will play the revving sound effect when the player presses the "R" button and stop playing the sound when the player releases the button. It will also adjust the pitch of the sound as the player holds down the button, creating the effect of the engine revving up and down.

To use this script, attach it to the game object that has the Audio Source component and engine revving sound effect attached to it. Then, drag and drop the Audio Source component onto the "audioSource" field in the Inspector.

You can also use the "pitchMin" and "pitchMax" variables to adjust the range of pitches that the revving sound will play at.
