Apologies if this has been discussed before:

Last night up late watching, I noticed that when the racers were in the towns I heard the same sequence of crowd cheering, car and bike horns sounding, regular as clockwork. This became annoying then I realized that the cretin sound engineers must be using like a 5 second background sound loop for those parts as fill-in, on top of actual background sounds. In many places there were no spectators but still the cheering. It got so annoying that I phoned the TV network (there was no answer). It even drowned out to some extent the commentators voices.

Anybody else notice this?

I have noticed video looping around sometimes...

Watching now, those moron sound mixers are still playing that same 5s sound clip!!!

Just listen for it: As soon as they pass some spectators, you hear the sound of clapping and cheering, the engine of a motorbike, a car's horn going "paaarp-paparp... parp! more clapping, then a motorbike horn going "tideludeli!" then its back to the start.

:mad:
