Turbo sound effects for engines that breathe hard. Pure boost noise. The rising whistle as the pressure builds, then the flutter when the throttle snaps shut. You'll hear it on Japanese sports cars and turbodiesel off-roaders, recorded onboard and out, with drifting and hard acceleration. Some designed sci-fi engines whine in a similar way.

What does a turbo sound like? A high, rising whistle that climbs with the revs, sitting on top of the engine like a jet spooling up. Lift off and the trapped pressure escapes as a flutter or a sharp hiss, depending on how the car is set up, and that side lives in Wastegate. Onboard recordings catch the whistle best, because the Intake is right there. Exterior passes give you the exhaust with turbo chatter on top. Racing games and street racing films lean on the flutter. It tells the audience the car is properly modified.
