WTF is the popping sound that the cars (including mine) make when they're up
to speed? It sounds like a person tapping on a tin can or something.
Completely rediculous. At first I thought I had damaged the engine or
something, but it happens at *every* track, *every* time.
Please, make it stop!

No, I know what the limiter sounds like. This is totally different.
Happens at all speeds, with all cars (even when going by in replays), on all
tracks. Just imagine running 6000rpm at 'Dega and having a sound (like
hitting a tin can) repeat randomly every 2 seconds or so.
For example, I was in the garage at 'Dega during a practice session, and as
I heard other cars pass (vroom, vroom), I also heard the popping (tink,
tink, clunk, etc.). It came and faded with the cars, and was even affected
by Doppler.
Am I the only one with this sound?!
