Brother Pheidias Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 So, as I eagerly await a certain delivery from Forgeworld, I couldn't help but wonder, what sound does a Scimitar Jetbike (or indeed, the Javelin and other landspeeders) make?After having reached a certain amount of agreement on many other sounds (choom comes to mind :p ), what's your take on the sound of illustriously gravity-defying jetcycles?

Vulkan He'Dan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I personally think there's two different ways it could sound. The classic electronic Sci Fi speeder sound. Star wars speeder bikes comes to mind or it would sound like your straddling a 737 engine. Absolutely deafening Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319575-scimitar-jetbikes-a-silly-question/#findComment-4314799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think when just hovering, it would be a low, oscillating hum. But due to it being imperial tech, when in motion I think it would be like a sort of distorted rally car at high speed. With a bit of Sci fi influence thrown in. I imagine Eldar Jetbikes are pretty much mute too. For comparisons sake.

Hesh Kadesh Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have the throaty roar from Sebulba's pod in The Phantom Menace in my head.

MikhalLeNoir Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yup. Something like that I have the throaty roar from Sebulba's pod in The Phantom Menace in my head.

Brother Pheidias Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have the throaty roar from Sebulba's pod in The Phantom Menace in my head. That's my personal take too, at least when in motion. @The God-Potato of Mankind: Got a solid chuckle out of me there.

Ironwithout Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I always imagined it like a jet engine. No idea why. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319575-scimitar-jetbikes-a-silly-question/#findComment-4315094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well, Speeders do seem to have jet-like turbines at the back, so there may be a jet sound somewhere in there as well. The sound of anti-grav is tricky. Gravity has no sound, so it be the sound of the mechanism doing the anti-grav shenanigans. That could be anything from humming to a highly efficirnt hamsterwheel for all we know. As for the main engine, something related to jets. I wouldn't associate the Pod Racer sound with Imperial tech. Tau would be a closer fit if you ask me.

Landspeeders kinda whine and whoosh, most of the podracers sound sort of jet-like, but Sebulbas goes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319575-scimitar-jetbikes-a-silly-question/#findComment-4315432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaky Brigade Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I thought the the clue would be in the name Scimitar Jetbike. It obviously sounds like swords clanging. Personally I like the idea of it sounding like a small jet fighter operating a few feet off the ground.

Legionary Pallas Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I thought the the clue would be in the name Scimitar Jetbike. It obviously sounds like swords clanging. I can just imagine a White Scar showing his jetbike off to his Brotherhood and being all like: "Alright, I'm going to start 'er up now boys, watch your ears, this beauty can make some noise!" *CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGTINGSMASH* Just like the TF2 frying pan.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I imagine the anti-grav engines sound something like the caterpillar drive from The Hunt for Red October.

Jamafore Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzmGoB4AMqk Pretty much. You have to wonder what would have happened if that guy had for whatever reason decided to pop a wheelie as he was going. Well, I wonder that anyway.
