you guys act like this is new stuff. its been on the bmw m5 when they switched from the v10 back to a twin turbo v8. its another way to make a car sound good to the driver. personally i prefer the quad exaust on the boss 302 and newer gt's.

I don't really care if the exhaust sound is played through the speakers. I mean, really, does it matter? It'll probably sound good in the cabin too. I almost wish my exhaust played thru the speakers so I could hear it better with the windows up.

I think people are misunderstanding too. Some people make it sound like the car is going to have a fake exhaust sound which isn't the case. The speakers simple amplify the sound of the existing exhaust.

Although from researching this I found it funny that this feature is controlled through the factory radio head unit. So apparently if you change out the head unit the cars sound from inside the car will change since this sound enhancement feature will no longer work.

Okay, I got to be honest here fellas but I have been hearing about this fake engine sound now for a bit and am completely confused on what the heck are people talking about. What's the issue here?

Now someone please correct me if I'm mistaken here but. Engine makes noise. Ford has figured out a way to play that engine noise over the cars radio speakers. So driver is hearing the cars engine being amplified through the speakers. Am I missing something here?

That's pretty much it.

Basically, the car knows that your in x gear, at x load and at x rpm. Then it plays a sound through the speakers as to what the Ford engineers want you to hear with artificial sound. Probably taking what little noise the engine produces, amplifying it and then adding some V8'ish sounds to it. Making it sound like a badass race car inside, when outside it sounds like any other little 4 cylinder car.

It's likely a tweaked version of this - Active Noise Control - YouTube


Here is what it actually sounds like inside the car - 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost 2.3L Performance Package - WR TV POV Test Drive - YouTube


It sounds unlike any inline 4 I have ever heard. Almost reminds me of my old Subaru and it's boxer 4.

In the video I posted, they mention that it "enhances the sound of your engine".

Watch this video-

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost vs BMW i8 Fake Engine Note Controversy Revealed - YouTube

The EB car sounds louder inside than the 5.0 and the exhaust note in no way sounds anything like what that car sounds like from the interior.

As for the size of the engine, I am well aware it's a 2.3L. It also has a turbo, therefore, the exhaust note will be quieter than if it were NA, as the turbo acts likes a muffler.

Just listen to what the car sounds like on the inside and the outside. You could also listen to a Mazdaspeed 3, which also has a 2.3L turbo or, an SRT4 Neon, which is IMO one of the best sound inline 4's ever, it's also a 2.4L. Neither of those cars sound anything like this Mustang. The only 4 cylinder car that makes those types of sounds are boxer engines. Inline 4's just do not produce that sound that you hear inside the car.

So is this the future with small engines and electric cars? Only we have fake exhaust sounds on the inside and the outside broadcasting an exhaust sound.
If you want the deep rumble, you get the V8 and not a bunch of fake crap.

That site is trash.

I see, I'm sure at this point it's well known you don't like the '15. If it's anything like this site you like to jump in every thread you can to knock the '15.

No big deal I don't get sore over it but I can imagine others do. Notice this site has one of the weakest '15 sections of any I've seen at least....
 
#29 ·
Well, I do admit and am guilty of being a bit vocal on the 15 which I will work on being less of. Funny, there was quite a few members who were less than thrilled with the 2015 and speaking purely about it but whats funny is why those people get upset about it. Heck, those who like the 2015 over on that site most aren't even getting it. Ha ha ha.

Its like for those who like it, buy it. For those who don't like it, don't buy it. Lol.

Tell us about the new four-cylinder Ecoboost engine

It’s been specifically designed and engineered for performance. There’s a twin-scroll turbo, a steel crank, more power and torque than the V6, and significantly improved economy.

The 3.7-litre V6 is essentially a carryover and in the US the Ecoboost will outsell the V6. Will the Ecoboost engine sound like it belongs in a Mustang?

With the Ecoboost engine we have both active noise cancellation, and we also amplify the existing engine sound order. We don’t create an artificial sound, we don’t pluck one off the shelf, we bring in the real sound, process it, and play it through the car’s speakers. Today’s V6 sounds fantastic, and although the Ecoboost won’t sound like a V8, it won’t sound like it doesn’t belong in a Mustang either.

That is the the only real concern I have, i guess ill just pull that fuse. They have microphones in the car, that analysis unwanted engine sound in the car. The computer then creates a opposite sound wave to cancel the bad engine sound , and then amplifying the good waves. Its still the real motor your hearing ... Well part of it.
