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 — 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 — and anyone who misses the noise. REAL ENGINES, NOT A SOUNDBOARD • 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. • Firing-order accurate — a cross-plane V8 burbles because of its uneven firing pattern, and EVRoar models it. • The sound reacts to load: accelerating sounds different from coasting, with backfires and overrun crackle on lift-off. DRIVEN BY YOUR DRIVING • Uses your phone's GPS, accelerometer and gyroscope to turn real motion into revs. • Simulated automatic gear shifts — feel the shift, hear the bark. • Instant throttle response, tuned for how a real engine loads up. MADE FOR YOUR CAR • Plays through your car's audio over Bluetooth or AirPlay. • Recovers automatically after phone calls and navigation prompts. • Runs in the background with the screen off. MAKE IT YOURS • Configure your vehicle: top speed, number of gears (1–8), and shift style — relaxed, medium or sport. • From a 30 km/h e-bike with 3 gears to a 300 km/h hypercar with 7. • Fine-tune the sensor mix (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS) and overall sensitivity. TRY IT ANYWHERE • Simulator mode gives you on-screen gas and brake pedals — 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.
Exhaust Note
This app synthesizes realistic engine exhaust sounds from scratch, based on the physics of firing orders and cylinder layouts. Explore various engine configurations, adjust muffler settings, and experience dynamic features like pops, bangs, and flames. It also includes a detailed 3D engine animation and driving simulation elements.
- Real-time synthesized exhaust sounds
- Adjustable muffler settings
- Diverse engine presets
- Pop, bang, and flame effects
- Living 3D engine animation
- Driving feel simulation
- Tunnel reverb mode

Exhaust Note is not an app that plays back engine recordings. For piston engines, it synthesizes the sound from scratch, every moment, from the firing order created by cylinder layout and crankpin phasing. Why a crossplane V8 rumbles, why a flatplane screams, why a V12 idle throbs — it all comes from the physics of firing intervals. This app computes that physics in real time. ■ Real-time synthesized exhaust - Zero recorded samples. Crank-angle integration → per-cylinder firing → exhaust-pipe propagation, computed every sample - Distinct primary pipe, mid-pipe and muffler model for every engine - Muffler continuously adjustable from straight pipe to quiet ■ Engine collection - 22 engine and motor presets: inline-3 through V12, two-, three- and four-rotor engines, a 300 kW electric motor and six motorcycle engines - 12 transmission presets: manual, sequential, dual-clutch, automatic, EV single-speed reduction and motorcycle 6-speed sequential, paired with compatible powertrains - Pick a motorcycle engine and the view becomes a motorcycle that leans into corners, with quickshifter, intake and dry-clutch sounds - Crossplane vs flatplane V8 — same eight cylinders, completely different sound - Firing order and rumble index shown as specs ■ Pop and bang + flames - Afterburn pops on throttle lift and downshifts - Flames at the 3D exhaust tips, same instant and same bank as the sound ■ Tunnel mode - Reverb that wraps the sound in wall reflections, like driving into a tunnel ■ A living 3D machine - Crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods rotate in phase with the sound - Gearbox cutaway: constantly meshed gear pairs and real synchro-sleeve movement - Observe the mechanism at 1/10 slow motion, or switch to real time for phase match ■ The feel of driving - Torque-converter launch, rev matching, manual H-pattern shifter - Haptics on rev limiter, wheelspin, shifts and ABS - Analog pedals: press position controls pedal travel ■ Electric drive - Motor, inverter, underfloor battery and fixed reduction in 3D - Original sound synthesized from motor speed, load and regeneration, without recorded samples - Simplified battery charge, energy use and regenerative braking ■ Garage, dyno and mechanism explorer - Name and save engine, transmission, boost, exhaust, body, color and assist combinations; restore the last configuration - Compare torque/power curves and estimated acceleration with shared vehicle mass and road conditions; optional matching gear ratios for combustion setups - Move through the operating cycle and choose a gear to inspect the mechanism ■ Circuit driving - Drive GT and four-door coupe models on the test circuit or an approximate 20.7 km Nürburgring Nordschleife based on public data, with forests and elevation changes - Adjustable graphics quality and saved accelerator/brake modes, pedal response, steering and assists - Local best laps are separated by circuit, engine and boost class; the three-rotor, four-rotor, electric and motorcycle powertrains currently keep records on the device only Power, acceleration and EV battery figures are estimates from simplified simulation, not production-vehicle measurements.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EVRoar at none against Exhaust Note's shown. EVRoar also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Exhaust Note's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. EVRoar sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Exhaust Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EVRoar ships an update every 9 days, Exhaust Note every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
