Where is the high pitch sound coming from in an F1 Car?

May be...

blind school
  • Exhaust or Engine? If it is the engine, where and why?

    The most recent developmentof a high pitch sound that I can recall was Vettel at Monza, and bloody right too!!

  • It's because the engine revs so high. A normal car engine revs to around 7,500 rpm, But f1 cars rev to 19,000 rpm. Thats more than double the revs. The reason they make such a high pitched sound is because there are so many sound waves (the engine is turning 316.6 times per second) and the engines are very small. Also there is no silencer in the exhaust sytem, because they slow the car down, so these F1 cars are really loud...

    Hope that answers the question
  • (f1)engine - Exhaust/exhaust = driver dead + ppl at the grandstands fainting.
    !!

    hence the sound is created inside the engine which is delivered out of it with the help of silencer/exhaust...
    this high pitch sound is created cause the engines rev at 19000 RPM, which means each cylinder in the engine(which consists of 8cyl in V)..has 19000 blasts inside them that is 19000 X 8 =1,52,000 controlled blasts per second..... and so many blasts per second drives that F-1 car and hence that high pitch noise,...which actually is silenced with the help of silencer.....without silencer...check the formula i gave u on the top...;-)
