Virtual motor sound for quad race pilot

Is there a way to make the throttle in my Taranis outputting a constant sound depending on the throttle position?

I'm a FPV Race Pilot and sometimes I fly in big tracks and I miss the motors sound.
The microphone is not a good solution because it outputs also wind noise.
If I could have my taranis outputting a kind of analog and constant sound that varies pitch according to the throttle position that would be awesome, no need for real motor sound.

Is it possible??

You could use something like this:

Hi! thanks for the fast response :)

The idea was having the taranis reproducing the sound because the quad is far away to ear the motors sound.

To get an ideia it should sound something like this:

In theory that should be possible, but you will need to convince the developers that it is a good feature ;) :)
Good luck :)

With the project I've linked above you could use some real helicopter sound for example :) and connect the device to a receiver and place it next to you :)

Ok I get your idea but I still prefer a more simple approach.
I will post a request in openrcforums.com, do you think this is the best place to talk with the devs?

Regards

I am sure that at least a couple of them Might have already read your idea :)
You could also try posting it on the OpenTX Github project page..
