Fake engine sound disable

[zyglyrox]

I don’t think I noticed it in our 24 until tonight when I had the music off and went from Sport to Eco and had the noise disappear instantly.

Yes, it's a real thing, and frankly the overwhelming majority of people have no idea. Usually it doesn't come up until they go to upgrade their sound system, screw up their gain structures on their amps, and suddenly the engine sounds MUCH louder than it was before. It's called "Engine Sound Enhancement" or ESE for short.

@Brian_B is correct. For the Bronco....

• 2021, 2022, 2023 : Lux package only
• 2024+ : All equipment packages

Do you know if it’s also on the 2022 Raptor with Lux? If so, is the Forscan change the same on Raptor? Thanks

Yes and yes.

Yes and yes.

Thanks…do you happen to have a link to a ForScan device I can purchase for the Bronco.

I have the Bosch MasterTech II, but there are many options.

I have a 24 Raptor. Making sure this is actually a thing for my truck before I go out there.
Is there simple way to "detect" it so I can tell that my change worked? Assume it plays the fake sounds even with the radio turned off?

So, is it real engine noise that is picked up via a microphone (or some other electro-aural pickup) processed and piped into the sound system, or is it a pre-recorded audio file of engine noise that is being played?

how real is it?

pre-recorded.

I believe it will play even with radio off

Only way I know to really make it super-noticable is to either pull the subwoofer fuse and suddenly it sounds different, or for folks that have upgraded their sub, suddently it's deafeningly loud and obnoxious.

Here is a great video explaining ANC and the fake engine sounds.

thanks for this post!

i didn't even realize this was a thing until i turned it off. I assumed it was real engine noise and just got used to it.

I have a '23 Heritage Limited Lux and it's night and day in the sound reduction.

Just spent a week in the Bronco, doing off rodeo and different Smoky Mountain things. When we hit tail of the dragon off parson branch, I juiced it (quite) a bit. My wife said “this thing sounds so much better than my 6 cylinder (2016 Jk) Jeep. So throaty”
I had to tell her about the fake noise.
She was literally bummed.
I should have just nodded.…

Thankfully, I only ordered the High package. That would drive me crazy having an artificial sound pumped into my truck.
Luckily my Flowmaster Flow FX cat back produces a real sound that I can enjoy!

So curious, could one with a High package enable the artificial engine sounds? Not saying I want to keep the sound, but curious of what it sounds like, especially with an upgraded sound system.

actually i want to turn mine off. it’s obvious how fake it is once i added my
blowoff

Most likely the programming isn't apart of your Audio Control Module.

BUT, you could flip the bit and see what happens.
