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.
