EVRoar
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 โ 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 โ and anyone who misses the noise. REAL ENGINES, NOT A SOUNDBOARD โข 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. โข Firing-order accurate โ a cross-plane V8 burbles because of its uneven firing pattern, and EVRoar models it. โข The sound reacts to load: accelerating sounds different from coasting, with backfires and overrun crackle on lift-off. DRIVEN BY YOUR DRIVING โข Uses your phone's GPS, accelerometer and gyroscope to turn real motion into revs. โข Simulated automatic gear shifts โ feel the shift, hear the bark. โข Instant throttle response, tuned for how a real engine loads up. EVEN MORE ACCURATE WITH LIVE CAR DATA โข Connect a Bluetooth OBD-II dongle or an S3XY Commander in ScanMyTesla mode, and EVRoar uses your car's real speed and accelerator-pedal position for an even more precise, responsive sound. โข If the connection drops, phone sensors take over automatically โ the sound never stops. MADE FOR YOUR CAR โข Plays through your car's audio over Bluetooth or AirPlay. โข Recovers automatically after phone calls and navigation prompts. โข Runs in the background with the screen off. MAKE IT YOURS โข Configure your vehicle: top speed, number of gears (1โ8), and shift style โ relaxed, medium or sport. โข From a 30 km/h e-bike with 3 gears to a 300 km/h hypercar with 7. โข Fine-tune the sensor mix (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS) and overall sensitivity. TRY IT ANYWHERE โข Simulator mode gives you on-screen gas and brake pedals โ 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.
EV Engine Sound

EV Engine Sound gives your electric car the sound of a real combustion engine โ live, through your car's speakers. Mount your iPhone, connect it to the car over Bluetooth or CarPlay and press START. The app reads your speed from GPS and how hard you accelerate from the motion sensors, and runs a virtual gearbox on top: the revs climb, it shifts up, it blips down when you slow down and it crackles when you lift off. SEVEN ENGINES โข Muscle V8 โ a 6.2 cross-plane V8 with the deep, uneven rumble and a 6-speed manual. โข Bavarian V8 โ a 4.9 cross-plane V8 that loves to rev, with a 6-speed manual. โข Italian V12 โ a 6.5 V12 that screams to almost 9,000 rpm, with a 7-speed dual-clutch. โข 4.0 Flat-6 โ a naturally aspirated boxer six that howls to 9,000 rpm, with a 7-speed dual-clutch. โข Flat-6 Turbo โ a 4.0 twin-turbo boxer with boost, whistle and an 8-speed dual-clutch. โข 3.0 I6 Turbo โ a smooth straight six with turbo whistle, blow-off valve and an 8-speed automatic. โข Diesel Pickup โ a 6.7 compound-turbo straight six with huge low-down torque and a 6-speed automatic. Pick any of them in the Garage, or flick between them on the main screen. NOT A RECORDING The sound is generated live by an engine synthesizer from the firing order, the revs and the load. Every throttle input, every gear change and every lift-off sounds different. MAKE IT YOURS โข Exhaust: from quiet to straight pipe. โข Pops & crackle: from off to anti-lag. โข Turbo blow-off: from off to huge. โข Inside sound: hear it as if you're in the cabin, with the deep boom and muffled highs. โข Speed-based volume: turns the engine up as road and wind noise rise. โข Play along with music, or let the engine have the speakers to itself. SHIFT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL The track buttons on your steering wheel (โฎ / โญ) become gear paddles. Hold a gear or lock the gearbox in manual. The current gear is shown on the car's display. TRY IT AT HOME Simulator mode has on-screen gas and brake pedals and a virtual car, so you can rev the engines and go through the gears without driving. Neutral lets you rev in place. PRIVATE No accounts, no ads, no tracking. GPS and motion data stay on your iPhone and are never sent anywhere. Mount your iPhone securely before you drive and keep your eyes on the road. Set everything up before you set off. Engine sound can make you less aware of pedestrians โ keep the volume at a level where you can still hear the traffic around you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: EVRoar at Free against EV Engine Sound's $1.99. EVRoar also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 27.0). EV Engine Sound's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
