I'm curious, Why does every ships super cruise sound the same no matter if it's a sidewinder or Corvette ? Would it have really taken the sound department that much more effort to put something in place ?

Super Cruise Sound ?

Honestly? I wish the sound they make in supercruise would change depending on the size of the FSD. I mean... listen to a capital ship jump in. They got class 10 FSDs probably.
Would be nice to have the big ships like the T10, Corvette, Cutter etc... have meaty sounding supercruise.

It has to be a shepard tone, and spicing it up without destroying the intended effect probably isn't as easy as you think.
I'd love it if it just sounded like this:

Maybe because it's not the sound of engine, but rather sound of compressing space in front of ship?
According to lore, the capital ships still have the "old" kind of witchspace drive, the transition takes them longer, but they can appear anywhere in a system and not only at the center mass like we do.
afaik the older drives that the Capital ships use also leave behind toxic waste.
MMmmmmmmm.......Space toxins......
Why can't we scoop that for a Fusion Drive version of RED-X through a twin-choke carb.
Cap ships don't use the old style drives, that's a persistent myth. If they did it'd take them 2 weeks to make a jump.
AFAIK, the sounds in space are synthesized to begin with by computer in the cockpit- at least that's the "lore" reason that was introduced to explain why we have sounds in space to begin with.
That said, it's a pretty minor consideration that all ships would share the same synthesized sound in SC, given that SC has only a single purpose- which is traveling from point A to B quicker than trawling through space without it. (perhaps crawling, instead of trawling...)

They all sound the same because they're all manufactured by the same company (Sirius Corp) on an assembly line.
That'd be what a Cutter would soundlike
EDIT: https://youtu.be/y8BYyBLsCUk?t=75 at this point you can hear the difference between the smaller enterprice and the huge as balls Vengeance. That'd be like the Cutter VS the AspX
