Gearbox Sound Effects

Gearbox sound effects from just about everything with a gearbox in it. Big trucks, tractors, sports bikes, supercars, wartime trucks and tanks, a little classic car, even a light helicopter. Quite a garage. Most come as full vehicle recordings with the gearbox in the mix. There's also a whole library given over to the transmission alone, a heavy-duty automatic recorded shifting both loaded and unloaded.

Where the microphone sits changes what a gearbox sounds like. Onboard, a change is mechanical, a clunk and a lurch you can almost feel. From outside it's mostly the revs dropping and climbing again. The classic car comes with its own gearbox layer next to the engine and exhaust, so you can push the shift forward in the mix. The supercars and sports bikes give you quick changes under hard acceleration, while the wartime trucks and half-tracks suit a convoy grinding through a ruined town. The transmission recorded on its own is for heavy machinery, shifting under load and empty, so a big vehicle sounds like it's working for a living.
