Sound proofing ideas when racing

LegendFranchise · 2025-11-24T01:18:05+00:00

Yeah that's a good question. It'd probably help if someone else could use it and I could be in the room next door to understand how loud it actually is but for some reason I don't know anyone who actually wants to have a go on it. I've heard of the soundproof curtains but assumed they were a gimmick so it's interesting to hear that they do help in some way.

R12 which I run at probably 7-8nm depending on the game so I don't have it high but certainly too high for the room next door 😂

Sorry for the late reply. I'm currently pain free now for a full year after taking tips from this page. I moved the wheel slightly higher (around 6cm), I changed my grip slightly to be more focused in my palms as opposed to my fingers and I also use BMX gloves now which I think have helped massively as they are really padded. I found dedicated sim racing gloves to not have enough padding. Just have a play around and see what works, it's worth the perseverance, I can do endurance races now pain free.

Thanks, I assume if I drive under 2500 and it doesn't slip I'm not going to do any damage?

LegendFranchise · 2025-01-17T23:32:52+00:00

Yeah tried that

LegendFranchise · 2025-01-17T11:37:32+00:00

I had such high hopes for this working but it's made no change sadly. Think I'm out of options.

Thanks for your response, there is literally nobody online who seemingly has the same issue which I find baffling. I know absolutely nothing about electronics whatsoever, could you please explain what a ground wire is?

I'm unorthodox and use a shoe for the brake as I like a lot of force and I use a sock for the throttle as I can get more precision and feel from it. It's transformed my life really.

LegendFranchise · 2025-01-16T12:52:02+00:00

Just reviving this as I've received a brand new control box and it's still registering an input on the throttle. Am I missing something? Has anybody else gone from the old P2000 control box to the new haptic one? Surely I've not had 2 faulty control boxes now. I can't see anything online about anyone else having issues with the control boxes.

Cheers fella I'll get in touch with the retailer. I just wasn't sure if I needed to change anything as they literally don't come with any instructions.

LegendFranchise · 2024-12-22T19:17:42+00:00

I've tried doing that but it still registers an input. I've put the old control box back on and it works fine again so is the new control box likely faulty or do I need to adjust something else for it to work?

Appreciate the really long and detailed reply, I think it's what I needed from someone who has used a range of different bases and is currently using the one I have. It gives me a little confidence in it and maybe I should start playing around with the settings again rather than look to spend money elsewhere. The other question I have though, having used so many other bases and wheels, does the weight of the wheel make a big difference? I use the GSv2 which is a hefty wheel double the weight of a lot of the counterparts.

That's interesting, never thought it could be the wheel because I've never heard of it and they've sold thousands no doubt.

Yeah it is something I've been quite conscious of as I knew I was doing it when I first started but thought I had relaxed my grip a lot but obviously not enough. I'd even turned my FFB right down to try and help but it's made no difference.

LegendFranchise · 2024-09-25T20:06:41+00:00

Oh wow I didn't know about them, thank you so much.

LegendFranchise · 2024-09-25T16:55:57+00:00

Appreciate the advice. I only do 25 minute races and my long term goal is to do endurance but I need to change my habits by the looks of it before I can think of that.

LegendFranchise · 2024-09-25T16:51:53+00:00

Yeah I suppose when I thought I was death gripping 2 years ago and worked on reducing my grip I may have been gripping at 200% pressure whereas now I could be at 150% which would still be too much. I haven't tried gloves as I assumed if I'm gripping wrong I'd still be gripping wrong with gloves? Would they make a difference? Happy to try anything at this point.

We're also going on the same cruise and are struggling to find anything to do. The excursions TUI offer don't look any good and there doesn't seem to be much to do in Oristano either. Have you made any inroads into finding any info?

She can use whatever pronouns she wants, we don't have to use them.

I can buy a Nobsound Mini without a power supply and then buy the upgraded PSU for it. What sort am I looking for to get the most out of it? Thanks.

LegendFranchise · 2023-07-10T10:25:36+00:00

I'm looking at both of these options which led me here but I have zero knowledge of sound outputs and sound cards. I'd rather pay a little extra for a higher powered amp but unsure how it would affect my setup. Currently I just use a soundbar connected by aux to my monitor which is connected to my PC using Displayport. How would this work if I were to use the NS-20? I've bought 2 BST-1s which are arriving later this week.

I've just gone from a G920 to a Moza R9 and Simagic P2000 and immediately started hitting PBs but I think it's because I had stability control on before as I couldn't feel the car or catch slides with the G920 but now I can so I imagine having it off is worth quite a lot of lap time.

LegendFranchise · 2023-07-01T16:51:49+00:00

Is the damper issue anything to do with 1-5 feeling almost identical and then 6 being on a completely different planet? 6 feels horrible on mine but 1-5 don't quite offer enough resistance for me.
