Is it just me, or does the audio sound weird?

Especially when accelerating in a turn - there's a grinding sound that I've never heard in other driving games. It really sounds like <expletive deleted>.

The grinding sound is probably traction control, ACC is actually a huge step up in audio and Id say already up there with the best sounding sims. Maybe not the best yet but getting pretty close.

Well, I guess thats a case of getting used to fake sounds :)

The sound in ACC is very accurate and modeled on the original cars. Its not fluffed up to sound more "roary", its just how the actual sound is. Also "annoying" sounds are not cut out, like traction control and abs - some games do that to "enhance" the player experience.
You can also watch some in-cockpit-action recorded behind the driver. You will hear the same noises.

They might not be "pleasant", but they are accurate.

You will not get a full roar engine sound in any GT3 car. A flat V6 sounds much different from a gas-guzzling US V8 out of a Mustang for example. So you will have to get used to the ACC sound, they will stay how they are.

Okay at least I can make out exactly the same sounds I'm hearing also occur in this video:

So if that's normal I guess that's just how the game works. Some of the rattling sounds are unexpected to me, but apparently that's the gear shifter. For example from 1:00 in the video to 1:10.

Others are correct, that is traction control. Also one of the reasons why many people who drive powerful or semi-powerful cars turn traction control off, along with of course it stopping powerslides :P

Oh that makes perfect sense suddenly! Of course I'm flooring it in those cases. lol!

Try listening to the real deal every once in a while.

Even in low powered cars when TC kicks in it's horrible. My VW Golf shakes and makes a horrible juddering noise, ACC actually have the audio effect tonned down a lot thankfully.

turn off TC

Probably the same sound as putting a wheel on the grass, i have Tinnitus so to me it sounds like someone shaking a metal bucket full of spanners, i could understand banging sounds when you run over the sausage curbs but not grass.
