That would be a good rate. But for a realistic result you also
need to measure the force you are putting on the pedals, or the
chain tension - the noise of an engine depends very much on the
amount of power it has to deliver.
I've been working on engine noise simulation - it's not very
difficult unless you want to exactly simulate an existing car.
Ciao,
