AVAS sounds for EUC World

[Planemo]

Did anyone finalise a jet engine pack? I can't see it in the library but I would have thought it was one of the first to be done! (Jets sound so cool...)

I do have the star wars one which is good but would prefer a jet

I ended up abandoning the project because the speed-dependent sound had a deep rumbling that was slightly distorted and, when accelerated, ended up sounding like the Harley Davidson was superimposed on top of the jet fighter. Since it involved finding a new sample sound I delegated it to the back of my to-do list and then, summer came along and... 

Maybe I'll eventually circle back 'round it it...unless a more talented sound editor (I'm a total amateur) beats me to it

Hello community. Little handling issue. I think it might have to do with me using AVAS...? So far, anti spin on my Tesla 2 would also work if button NOT pressed. Wheel spun just slightly in the air and increased speed when tilted forward. Now: I lift it and it spins full throttle, regardless of tilt - until shutting down. Where can I change that back?

All AVAS does is play sound in a speaker so it's not related, I would suggest you start a topic in Gotway subforum or contact your reseller.

I finally finished my solution of the front and rear bracket for the V11. The rear bracket is for the speaker only, the front combines standard GoPro mounts for the speaker and camera frames.

The brackets form independent bases attached to the surface of the headlight and taillight covers. The attachment is non-invasive, no modifications to the wheel body are required. It is only caught by a comb in the cooling grilles and on the opposite side the clamps are fastened with two screws. The upper part can be freely replaced by another future model of holders and mounting systems. Mounted with four self-drilling screws.

Made in TinkerCad, Cura slicer used, Prusament PETG material, printed on Anycubic Chiron and Flsun QQ-PRO. Frames compatible with JBL GO 2. Speakers paired in stereo mode. The bottom layers of the bases are covered with insulating tape to protect the surface of the light covers from scratches.

Nice work!!

Hi Freego,  Could you share your design to print it ? 

thx

The V5F doesn't have an onboard speaker for BT audio...

For better effect, get a good bluetooth speaker so you can actually enjoy the sounds while riding (bt speaker vs phone). Small speaker with caribiner. I use the Tribit Stormbox which sounds very good for the size and price. Good luck

Hello.
 I respect your AVAS project in which I see not only a good future, but also life.
 There are many devices included in your project that cannot support this feature but have wifi communication to a mobile or other audio device.
 My idea is, why don't you step on a device with wifi and through the data for speed, current, etc., to broadcast through the player what you do through AVAS.

 I think that such an app / program / combined with the necessary hardware will be used not only by the users here who decide to decorate themselves with a Bluetooth speaker, even in cars and moto tuning.

Hi guys! Welcome to the exciting world of EUC AVAS!!!

This thread has been created to make the most of the very cool AVAS function implemented by @Seba in EUC World's latest release. While the main (official ) purpose of AVAS is to emit sounds to alert passersby of our presence, this thread wouldn't exist if our inner child weren't ecstatic about  the possibility of making our wheels sound like race bikes, spaceships and jet planes... 

The creative possibilities are endless and some users have already begun experimenting with custom sounds, so the time has arrived to create a dedicated thread where you can find cool sound packs created by others, upload your own, share and suggest ideas, etc.

 

First of all, a description of the basic sounds that make up AVAS, what they are, how to use them and considerations to bear in mind when creating sounds for AVAS:

Engine start: This sound is played when you connect to the wheel / enable AVAS, so it should be an engine starting (whether internal combustion or a spaceship powering on). A second of idling after start-up could be a nice touch (it's worth testing before you load it to EUC World to make sure that the end of this sound matches well with the beginning of the engine idling sound the follows it)

Idling: This sound is audible when you are stationary, so it can be anything from a car/motorcycle/truck engine idling sound to a helicopter or a UFO hovering. It will be played in a loop when stationary, so regardless of file length, it's important for the end and beginning to match well so the transition is seamless. This can be tested before uploading to your wheel by opening it in your favorite audio player and playing it in a loop. The same applies to all sounds that are played in a loop. 

Speed-dependent sound:  Sound whose pitch varies according to your speed, creating a realistic effect where your engine sound matches your riding (when accelerating or decelerating, going faster or slower, etc.). Since this sound's pitch will be altered by EUC World to match your speed, it's important for it to be a flat, sustained sound: for IC engine sounds, think of sustained cruising sounds with no acceleration/gear-changing/deceleration (this can be trickier to find than you might think). It will also be played in a loop while you're riding, so a seamless transition is important.

Current-dependent sound: Think of it as a turbo-charger that kicks in when you accelerate  (this does not replace the speed-dependent sound, it plays on top of it). The included sound is a high-pitched whistle, but the possibilities are endless, from a NOS effect to a jet propulsion thrust to wherever your imagination takes you. I've experimented with flat sounds so far, but I'm sure there are tons of others possibilities (heavy revving, for instance?)

Temperature-dependent sound: This sound can be seen as a fun alternative to temperature alarms that alert you in an entertaining way that your wheel is gradually creeping towards overheating. An excellent use-case suggested by @Seba would be for @Marty Backe's Overheat Hill™ tests: steam escaping from a boiler (steam-train style), just subtly present as the wheel reaches a warm operating temp. (50ºC, for instance) and which gradually increases in volume until you reach 60ºC (or whatever max. temp. you've set). Aside from being a fun alternative (tons of sounds come into mind: engine rattling, hissing, etc), it provides real-time temperature feedback on warm days/steep climbs, gradually increasing its presence, as opposed to a static temp. alarm, that doesn't activate until you reach the max. value you've set for the alarm.

Engine off sound:  Self-explanatory. Might require some fiddling to play nicely with the idling sound the precedes it.

 

You can find a quick guide on how to install user-created AVAS packs here:

 

Sound specifications for users thinking of creating their own packs:

Most common file formats are supported (WAV, mp3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC---correct me if I'm wrong, @Seba), but it's preferable to use sounds that are uncompressed (WAV).

Update: For idling, speed-dependent, current-dependent and temperature-dependent sounds it's best to use 16-bit, 32 kHz mono PCM WAV format and keep them less than 1 MB of size. This is proven to work on most Android devices.

 

 

Upload suggestions/requirements (IMPORTANT!):

Since this site has a limited hosting capacity and is supported by one person only, please do not upload sounds directly using the forum attachment function. We're studying the possibility of having a dedicated AVAS sound-hosting site, but for now, I think the best solution is to share download links from Dropbox/Google Drive/whatever cloud service you use.

Ideally, sounds should be named so they are easily identifiable (spaceship_start.wav, spaceship_idle.wav, spaceship_speed-dependent.wav, etc.). 

To keep things as organized and user-friendly as possible and not have a bunch of different files scattered throughout the thread (imagine having UFO startup one page 1 of the thread and UFO speed-dependent on page 4...) our current approach would be to bundle sounds together in a zip file and upload them as sound packs. 

@Seba is studying the possibility of creating a sound-pack download and auto-install function at some point, which might require a specific file-naming scheme and upload route, but this feature is still on the drawing board and he's just finished an intense development stage (AVAS, Tizen Support, etc.), so I reckon he deserves a break and downloading and loading sounds packs into EUC.W manually is no big deal for users considering the amount of development time that has gone into making AVAS possible. Now it's users' time to shine, put your lockdown idle-time to good use and unleash your creativity! 

 

Pro tips:

- Your phone needs to be connected to your wheel's Bluetooth audio service (like when you play music through it) for AVAS to be played through your wheel's speakers. Otherwise the sound will come from your phone. If your wheel doesn't have in-built speakers, you can easily use a portable Bluetooth speaker (I'm sure @Unventor will be happy to share his setup)  

- When selecting new sounds in EUC.W., you need to disable and re-enable AVAS for changes to take effect

- AVAS can be enabled/disabled by assigning it to a quick gesture on your Flic button, smartwatch, tapping on the gauge on the app's main screen, etc. 

- Sounds can be downloaded from a numbers of free sources (Youtube, freesound, zapsplat, freesfx, etc.) and edited using the free, open-source and cross-platform Audacity audio editor, or Adobe Audition if you're using Adobe products. There are plenty if tutorials online, but who knows, maybe there'll be an AVAS-specific tutorial by someone in the EUC World Team in the not-so-distant future...

- Getting sounds just right: With IC engines, a 1/4 second more or less at the beginning or end up an idling or speed-dependent sound can mean the difference between matching engine strokes and seamless playback vs. an out-of-whack AVAS. Play around until with them you get them to your liking before loading them into EUC World for real-world testing. 

- On that note, I've found that the best way to test sounds prior to loading them into EUC.W. is to add them to a playlist using your favorite music player and play them in order: engine on, idle, speed-dependent sound, idle, engine off and see if they play (more or less) seamlessly.

 

I'd say that pretty much covers the basics. I'll update/edit this introductory post with any significant/relevant changes.

 

Edit:  This thread isn't exclusively for sound-file uploads: Youtube videos with real-world examples of your crazy wheel sounds are also welcome here! (whether you're riding around the neighborhood or trolleying your wheel down the hall) 

 

One last note: A lot of people expect to find a changed world when  COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and they can finally resume their life. Little do they know exactly how different a world they're going to encounter, full of lunatics from the future riding one-wheeled Harleys, spaceships, UFOs, helicopters, jet fighters, Millennium Falcons, Jetsons cars, etc.

@Seba I tried to compile for EUC world installer, but had no luck.  Feel free to add KITT and KARR to library for all to enjoy

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Thankyou very much  I'm currently improving library and will also add easy library access directly from app AVAS menu, so using AVAS will be much easier for anyone. I will also add AVAS soundpack export option.

Would a simple hi-pass filter or eq treatment help with these issues? I bet quite a few sounds are a little 'rumbly' in the sub 160hz region. Small speaker and all. I JUST turned on avas sounds and played with the stock harley pack. Its so damn stupid, I freaking LOVE IT...  Luckily it worked by simply turning it on, as I wasnt really intending to go digging..

Yes but the sound was coming from the wheel. not the speaker. The video is timestamped to that part.
