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.

Engine Sound

Give any car the sound it deserves. Engine Sound synthesizes a lifelike engine in real time and plays it softly under your music. It follows your speed and acceleration, so the engine swells as you pull away and settles when you cruise — without ever stopping your music or podcasts. FIVE ENGINES • Inline-4 — eager and rev-happy • V8 — deep, lumpy rumble • Rotary — smooth, high-pitched buzz • Inline-6 — silky and balanced • V10 — shrieking, race-bred wail Preview each one with a tap. FEELS CONNECTED • GPS combined with the motion sensors reacts faster than GPS alone • Virtual gearbox: hear the shifts as you accelerate • Big animated tachometer with gear, RPM and shift lights PLAYS NICE WITH YOUR AUDIO • Mixes under music, podcasts and navigation — never takes them over • Choose how loud it sits under your music and how much it swells on acceleration • Subtle and Lead modes TRY IT PARKED Test Drive mode lets you rev every engine with an on-screen throttle before you head out. All sound is generated on your iPhone. Your location never leaves the device. Please drive safely and follow local laws. Keep the volume at a level that lets you hear traffic and emergency vehicles.
