EngineForge turns your iPhone into a live engine sound simulator. Pick an engine β€” inline-four, V8, flat-six and more β€” and EngineForge generates a real-time tachometer and exhaust note that responds to how you actually drive. NO ADAPTER REQUIRED EngineForge reads your speed and acceleration straight from your iPhone's GPS and motion sensors, revving the simulated engine as you accelerate and settling as you cruise. WANT REAL DATA? Connect a Bluetooth OBD2 (ELM327) adapter to drive the revs from your car's actual throttle position. Electric vehicle mode reads speed instead of throttle. CARPLAY READY See your custom tachometer right on your car's display. FEATURES β€’ Build your own engine: layout, cylinder count, displacement β€’ Real-time tachometer with redline β€’ Engine audio that rises and falls with your speed β€’ GPS + motion revs β€” works with no extra hardware β€’ Optional OBD2 support for live throttle β€’ Electric vehicle mode β€’ CarPlay dashboard β€’ Adjustable volume EngineForge is for entertainment. Always keep your eyes on the road and follow all local laws.

About

EVRoar

Your EV is silent. Your heart isn't. EVRoar turns your phone into an engine. Pick a thundering V8, a screaming V10, a turbine-smooth V12, or a cinematic electric drive sound β€” then drive. EVRoar reads your motion and plays an authentic, gear-shifting engine note through your car's speakers, live. Built for petrolheads who went electric β€” and anyone who misses the noise. REAL ENGINES, NOT A SOUNDBOARD β€’ Nine distinct engines: cross-plane V8 burble, flat-plane exotic, V10 wail, V12 hypercar, classic muscle, turbo flat-six, vintage oldtimer, exotic supercar, and a futuristic EV synth. β€’ Firing-order accurate β€” a cross-plane V8 burbles because of its uneven firing pattern, and EVRoar models it. β€’ The sound reacts to load: accelerating sounds different from coasting, with backfires and overrun crackle on lift-off. DRIVEN BY YOUR DRIVING β€’ Uses your phone's GPS, accelerometer and gyroscope to turn real motion into revs. β€’ Simulated automatic gear shifts β€” feel the shift, hear the bark. β€’ Instant throttle response, tuned for how a real engine loads up. MADE FOR YOUR CAR β€’ Plays through your car's audio over Bluetooth or AirPlay. β€’ Recovers automatically after phone calls and navigation prompts. β€’ Runs in the background with the screen off. MAKE IT YOURS β€’ Configure your vehicle: top speed, number of gears (1–8), and shift style β€” relaxed, medium or sport. β€’ From a 30 km/h e-bike with 3 gears to a 300 km/h hypercar with 7. β€’ Fine-tune the sensor mix (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS) and overall sensitivity. TRY IT ANYWHERE β€’ Simulator mode gives you on-screen gas and brake pedals β€” test every engine from your couch, no driving required. EVRoar is for entertainment. Sound plays inside your own vehicle; you remain responsible for road safety and local regulations. All engine sounds are original, generated audio.
