Default Heel & toe noise?

There was a post couple of days ago stating how when heel and toe is done the noise is very great.

So im thinking am i doing it wrong? the only sound i hear is the engine revving.

Basically this is what i do... brake rev with heel then downshift.... is this wrong?

what sound are you expecting to hear? if you're heel-toeing then you're braking and revving, unless you've got some squealing brake pads you're just going to hear the engine rev

haha, there is no "noise". you rev the engine before you engage the clutch. dont expect to hear dings or majestic bells or brahm

I'd kinda like to hear an angelic choir and rays of light inside the cockpit when I heel-toe.

I get a moaning noise coming from the engine when I do it correctly. And sometimes, I hear Jesus telling me "You're doing it right son. Congrats!".

Go watch some BMi videos to get a better idea of heel-toe

haha this thread made me laugh. Not sure what sound you were expecting to hear, but engine revving is all there is.

When I hear a car on the street heel and toeing it coming to a stop or turn, I instantly feel a bit of a connection with the other driver like we're both aware of some secret. Thumbs up is necessary.
