About this sound
Recording of a 2017 Mazda CX-5 engine revving, with rising RPMs and exhaust growl. Used in car edits, driving clips and vehicle sound comparisons.
This is a clean recording of a 2017 Mazda CX-5 engine being revved in place, starting from a low idle before the driver presses the accelerator in several short bursts. The pitch climbs quickly with each rev, revealing the smooth four cylinder tone, a light intake hiss and a deeper exhaust note as the revs fall back down. It feels mechanical and satisfying rather than aggressive, capturing the everyday sound of a modern SUV warming up or showing off. Listeners instantly picture the tachometer needle sweeping upward and the car vibrating slightly with each surge.
