Yamaha WaveRunner EX Sport 2017 water scooter

The Yamaha WaveRunner EX Sport is a nimble, highly responsive personal watercraft powered by Yamaha’s lightweight, 3-cylinder 1049cc TR-1 marine engine. Combining axial-flow jet pump propulsion with a compact fiberglass hull, its acoustic footprint is vibrant, high-pitched and aggressive. Its sonic character is defined by crisp throttle response, sharp intake whines, turbulent water jet spray, mechanical reverse-gear engagements and high-frequency exhaust notes bursting through the water line. This dedicated sound library captures the full operational spectrum of a modern jet ski, making it an essential resource for high-speed water chases, summer action sports, marine environments or sci-fi vehicle sound design.

Whether you need to design the roaring acceleration of a personal watercraft sequence, isolate distinct mechanical foley from a marine vehicle or pitch hyper-clean jet intake whines for futuristic engines, the WaveRunner EX Sport library offers a pristine and versatile acoustic toolkit.

Dual-Perspective Engine & Exhaust Capture: Features perfectly synchronized, phase-aligned multi-channel recordings capturing independent perspectives from the engine compartment (mechanical intake and engine block noise) and the rear jet exhaust (water-muffled exhaust bursts and jet pump dynamics).

Comprehensive Dynamic Maneuvers: Includes a wide matrix of speed profiles and marine maneuvers, ranging from steady neutral idles and displacement speeds to full-throttle planing, sharp cornering pass-bys, overtakes, rapid acceleration sweeps and aggressive U-turns.

Pristine High-Resolution Capture: Recorded at 192 kHz / 32-bit float using the high-headroom Sound Devices MixPre-6 II recorder paired with RØDE NTG1 shotgun and Line Audio Omni1 microphones. This guarantees extreme clarity on sharp water transients and high-frequency mechanical details with massive headroom for sound design pitching and time-stretching.

Complete PWC Foley Set: Archives 53 total WAV files including physical interactions onboard, such as ignition lanyard keys, mechanical reverse gearshift lever clicks, tactile dashboard buttons and front storage compartment latching.
