Need help building a jet turbine sound module.

akashthakur0305

Hi All,
I've been trying to make a Jet engine sound module,
I want to 3d print a turbine model and have a potentiometer control the turbine startup/ spooling up/ spooling down / shutdown sound.
Can't seem to find any Arduino code for playing these sounds.
Either on the board or on a MP3 module.

I found a old video on YouTube, no tutorials though,
Can anyone help.


Thanks in advance.

    Do a search for RC jet engine sound module and you'll find several devices that you can operate using a PWM channel from the arduino.

    I have seen many online but problem being I'll have to ship them to India, and the shipping cost is more than the module cost.

    That is the reason I was trying to build one myself.

     JQ6500 MP3 Player the sequel 

    I use a JQ6500 sound module with my Arduino projects for sound. You can load the JQ6500 with up to 2M of mp3 and play them individually. The module can be used standalone if desired.

    Some of Mike Cook's (Grumpy Mike) projects may be worth a look as he has used sound synthesis on the Arduino.

    He has also written a book:

    Arduino Music and Audio Projects

    which may give you some ideas

    Thank you dave, I'll try this approach as well.

      Ok, I bite, first a sound file is sort of universal. I was a crew chief in the USAF, and when you started you thing it sounded terrible. I suggest, that you don't mess about and print the stupid thing. (There are lots of 3D models floating around. on my end I a really nice model of the Fan-Jet, and It goes together just like a real one. One big exception my engine is about 3' across and powered by a large DC motor(size 8, or 11) that runs on 50 volts or better.  Now the problem is since it was printed will it hang or fly apart?  ~~ Cris BTW try this sound Much better: ( simple Google search: Fan Jet Engine Run-up.

    The sound in this clip is from a turboshaft helicopter engine. You can hear the blades at 1:39.

    The video leaves a lot of questions.  

    Do you want audio to play with a rc transmission radio? Will this speaker be on the plane?

    Side note, it may be cheeper to buy a jet engine than invest the time and money into programming arduino. 

    If you want to create a program that outputs power level depending on the throttle position, I would start with breaking up a engine start up into segments, power changing segments, increase and decrease. Than have separate power level sounds based on the appropriate power level. 

    I would also have to create a sub routine that recognizes the current throttle position and relative direction.  Your going to have a hard time with it not sounding choppy. Aka. The video is most likely fake. 

    Good luck. Let me know how you do. Very interesting challenge for sure.
