Watercraft Sound Effects

Watercraft sound effects from a pedal boat right up to a racing powerboat. Jet skis come from the driver's seat and the exhaust, with engine loops across the rev range, start-ups and shutdowns. A small outboard idles and cuts out, with false starts along the way. Pedal power is here too, the pedals and rudder recorded together as the boat pulls away and reverses.

The jet ski recordings are built for games, with engine loops that step through the rev range so the sound can follow the throttle, and some were recorded in both wet and dry conditions. The racing powerboat sits at the other extreme, supercharged engines recorded onboard and outside from synchronised positions, with more of that kind in Speedboat. Loud, in other words. Quieter scenes get the pedal boat, arriving, passing and pulling away, which suits a lake or a holiday beach. The outboard recordings cover a small motor Boat from ignition to shutoff, false starts included.
