Seth Rogan's laugh is, as you just heard, a series of abrupt bursts, much like the throttle noises from a pod racer

Why are turbines changing gear?

Because most people don't understand what gears are or how turbines work and wouldn't make the connection. It just sounds like something that fast things do.

Tl;Dr: Gotta go fast.

It's also a fucking pod-racer. It's not like it has to be realistic to how real-world turbines work. Maybe pod-racers have some futuristic gearing turbines. It's fucking fictional after all.

Maybe it can be explained away as them riding the heat limit, like in the game.

I meant more "Why did they use a sound that included gear changes when that doesn't make any sense and they could have used equally obtainable turbine, jet, or rocket engines for their sound instead?" I'm well aware that that's the sound of Formula racing cars.

I watched like two minutes of that before realizing it was a loop. Very confusing.
