English term or phrase: almighty whoop
Presque fini.

Inappropriate requests are ignored by the software. Changing down at low speed heralds a very gentle or negligible blip. Down-shift early and there is an almighty WHOOP that exactly matches the in-coming lower ratio, this smoothes out shock loads as well as sounding rather sporty.

hululement strident


Explanation:
c'est un genre d'alarme qui se fait entendre lorsque le véhicule est utilisé de façon inappropriée, si je comprends bien? L'idée de "cri" me semble un peu trop humaine... Hululement est à mon sens plus adapté à une machine...
