Summary
The Rocket Racing vehicle spawned by the Rocket Racing vehicle spawner plays broken audio. The sound played on entering the vehicle, the drift sound and the post-drift boost sound are all far louder than the rest of the game mix and sound wrong; the drift sound is partially high pitched. Drifting and boosting are core actions of this vehicle, so the broken sounds play constantly while driving.

Steps to Reproduce
- In a UEFN island, place a Rocket Racing vehicle spawner and leave its settings at their defaults.
- Start the game and enter the spawned Rocket Racing vehicle.
- Drive, drift through a corner, then release the drift to get the post-drift boost.
Expected Result
The enter, drift and post-drift boost sounds play at a normal volume and pitch, in balance with the rest of the game audio.
Observed Result
The enter, drift and post-drift boost sounds are all much too loud and sound distorted. The drift sound is partially high pitched. The post-drift boost plays some strange sfx compared to the sound that can be observed when driving through a boost pad. Many of these sounds are not audible when airborne.
Platform(s)
PC (Windows)
