Fake engine sound disable

The refs really hate the KC Chiefs.

Good.

They've been getting away with murder for about a decade now.

Yeah, you're almost 100% correct.

It comes standard in the grocery getter, mall crawler, crumb snatcher Mordoors.

It's not available in the 2 Door. Thanks Ford!!!

Team 2 Door = Purpose Built and Bad Ass

Team 2 Door for the win!

This is a little funny but also a little Russian behavioral science-y. The first time I aggressively accelerated on the test drive of my Raptor, I said something to the salesperson about the unusual exhaust note. They attributed it to the tunable exhaust.

The exhaust note sounded slightly off and like it was not coming from the correct location. I asked if they shut the rear door completely. Ever since, under aggressive acceleration my head involuntarily turns a bit and my ears perk, trying to understand from where the noise is coming. Though I now feel like a Pavlov experiment, I am also happy to know it's not all in my head... well at least not this part.

Thanks for the settings @gbub, and the sliver of sanity.

Well… shit. Thought my 22 BL Lux just sounded good. Maybe I’ve been bamboozled. I hate when companies do things like this without informing customers. Pretty sour taste about it, here. Ford customer support bot, care to chime in?

Just forget you ever saw this. Ignorance is bliss.

I am going to use it as a way to mock people silently in my head, when I give the uninitiated a ride, I will floor it and say "this thing sounds like a beast huh?" and silently comment what a moron they are when they agree.

For better or worse it's fairly standard practice these days, particularly on the premium audio systems, but it's starting to become more universal.

First company that did it I think was BMW, but now we got Kia, Toyota, VW in their Audi products, Honda in their Acura products, General Motors in Cadillac products and the Corvette, Stellantis was exploring it in Dodge/Jeep products, Nissan does it in 370Z, Subaru does it the BRZ and some of the WRX models, etc. etc.

Believe it or not is more common in the performance/sport versions of vehicles than it is on the more "mass market" vehicles, because the people buying those performance models are the folks that care about the engine note the most.

My Tundra has the fake engine noises for sure. I knew this when I bought it, as it's a hybrid model. People who have been in my truck have no idea it's a fake sound until I tell them.

Doesn't bother me at all - It actually sounds really good and aggressive, IMO. I know there's many folks who hate it and are annoyed by it, but I'd rather have this vs. silence from the hybrid components working.

To each their own. As long as manufacturers call it out clearly, it shouldn't be an issue - Don't like it? Don't buy it. Simple.

That fake engine sound inside was one of the most annoying features of my Bronco. I was able to eliminate it with FORScan in the "As Built" ACM module under 727-01-01. The fix is xxxx-xxxx-0xxx. 1 is ESE on and 0 is ESE off. I can still barely hear the actual exhaust and that it what I want.

Well I have a 1 in that position, so I guess I have it. Still have a hard time understanding I actually have some sort of exhaust enhancement in the cab. I have a Borla Touring climber and SPD downpipes, and I can't wait to try this in an attempt to quell some of the pissed off tones at WOT. Does this "enhance" the exhaust even if the radio off?

I think helping each other is what this forum is mostly about. I certainly have received more than given. Happy to have helped.

Turning off the radio did not silence my "enhanced" exhaust sound.

They did a good job of not making it sound fake!

On the Mustang6g forum, there was a thread claiming that the GT350’s had fake engine noise piped in. It was proved wrong & why would the VooDoo need sound enhancement?
It’s the Ford Philharmonic Flat Plane Crank 32-valve Orchestra with Chewbacca gargling on lead vocals…….. it needs no help!

I say good job Ford on any enhancements that may have been done.

I just upgraded my stereo and the fake noise is extremely loud now, so are the door dongs and other beeps and alerts. When I connect I don't see an ACM module or "727" codes anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[RedRider]

Nope!

Gains on your amps are probably set incorrectly. Usually the cause of this issue (but not always).

You must have the V6....? Because the 4 cylinder needs all the help it can get!

Is the ACM the factory B&O amp mounted to the sub? If so, that explains why I don't hear the engine sound with my audio upgrades, I replaced that amp with the Zen A2B module. My wife's HLE, we noticed immediately the engine is louder than mine, going to check that today with forscin!
