Title: Griso on TV
Post by: nc43bsa on January 31, 2020, 06:53:53 PM
While flicking through the channels, I landed on a drama where the main character rides up on a "1100 Griso," as described by another character.  This other character proceeds to diagnose a "clogged air filter," removes the seat, and pulls out a flat panel air filter, which he knocks against his hand and re-installs.

When the first character starts the bike, it sounds like . . .



Wait for it . . .




An inline 4 cylinder.   :rolleyes:

Kinda reminds me of the "Airplane" movies where they had "propeller" background sound effects for a jet airliner.  But that was a deliberate joke!

What show?

Yeah, in Airplane the engine noise was a running joke throughout the movie.

I think the TV show was Numb3rs.  I recognized some of the actors, although I didn't watch the show when it was new.

Kind of like the old TV and movie westerns where the hero had at least a 20 shot "six" shooter that should have been loaded with only five rounds.

 Heaven help me , I actually saw that , there was another bit recently where a Harley sounded like a 4 cylinder . Just the opposite of how the prop 4 cylinder Japanese bikes all sounded like Harleys for years .

For years, airplane movies had flying wires screaming as they were diving/crashing/whatever. There are no flying wires on a DC3, folks.. :rolleyes:

The simple answer to "why?" is because the sound editor has "stock" recordings of 4-cyl motorcycle engines already sitting on his computer but the proper sound of a Guzzi engine would have to be recorded so it's much easier/quicker/cheaper to just use what they have.

Always amused to hear a tv dirt bike sounding like a Harley.  I've learned that most folks don't notice. :laugh:

I only wish I could fix my Guzzis  by cleaning the dust from the air filter.

Is it too much of a stretch to just go with the sound of the actual bike ?
