RC Race Sound Pack

Repository-ready sound assets and event manifest for an RC racing timing application.

Included

• 48 kHz / 16-bit mono WAV effects
• Start tone
• Transponder/pass beep
• Warning and final-lap tones
• Personal-best sting
• Fastest-lap trophy sting
• Track-record fanfare
• Race-finish sting
• Position gain/loss cues
• Swedish and English TTS scripts in sound_manifest.json

Voice files

Generate TTS as WAV and place files in sounds/en/ and sounds/sv/, using the event keys from sound_manifest.json as filenames, for example sounds/sv/fastest_lap.wav.

Recommended voice style: clear professional race director / PA announcer, energetic but short. Keep announcements dry (no reverb) so they remain intelligible over RC cars and PA systems.

Start sequence

1. Play drivers_ready
2. Play start_phrase
3. Wait a random 1–4 seconds
4. Play effects/start_beep.wav
5. Start race timing on the tone

Integration

Treat sound_manifest.json as the contract between timing events and audio assets. Effects can be used immediately; voice assets can later be replaced without code changes.
