Fake engine sounds?

My 2019 XL STX FX4 w/101A does not do it & I know my hearing is bad but i had a friend listen with me. He might be deaf also I didn't ask.

Finally remembered to turn it off. Haven't noticed a thing.

When I step on it, which is rare since I'm still breaking it, I hear it but just thought it was real, but not sure now.

I was skeptical to, until I turned it off and was amazed how much quieter my SCAB was around town. Still have some wind/road noise on the hyway but night and day in town. Also turned on ANC (the next item down on the list). Mine was off.

I had the Magnaflo Cat back exhaust system on mine installed on mine before I ever drove it. After getting it and hearing about the audio growl, I wondered how much of the exhaust noise was MF and how much was enhanced. With the factory back on, it was definitely the MF making most of the noise, and I haven't noticed the enhancement at all.

I'm really looking forward to hearing it off, when my FORscan link arrives tomorrow.

Can the parking sensor an other alerts be redirected to the separate speaker away from the audio system?

Does it really sound like THIS ??

2019 Ranger Fake Engine Noise

I don't hear it on mine. Maybe I'm hard of hearing from being a musician for so long haha. But that being said I don't want to hear it haha

It would be like the coolest thing ever if we found out our fuel injector sound was fake audio and we could disable it. Sadly it is not. /sarcasm

Coming from a '16 Honda V6 direct injection, the Ranger injectors are quiet lol

I have a lariat with the sound upgrade. Engine sounds normal at normal Temps. But if it's cold, the fake engine noise enhancement makes my truck sound like a V12, it's incredibly stupid. I plan on having them remove it in Ford IDS. Would do it myself, but the Ford software is $99 plus requires a subscription. The car dealer said its mandatory, and makes the engine sound nice. I highly disagree.

Yes, exactly like that. I'm sort of indifferent to it but it would be nice if it was naturally a little more throaty.

Don't need IDS to remove it. Real simple to do with Forscan.

I think your imagining this

Yes. Yes it does. It was an *immediate* and *instant* change when I disabled it in my XLT. If you don't know it's there, you don't really notice it because you aren't used to the truck sounds without it. But it most certainly sounds exactly like that and it's super obnoxious.

Good luck. You can do it with FORscan without needing to pay the dealership. The dealership can't even change your tire size in the ranger currently (I tried, they said it's not available to them in the software) so I had to use FORscan for that myself.

Ok I have some ?'s about this "fake engine noise". Does it come through the radio speakers or is there some hidden speaker some where? Does it happen instantly at start up while still in park or neutral, or do you have to be in drive & moving? Like if you are setting still in neutral & rev the motor does it change sound? Does it change as you drive with engine rpm & gear selection? After I get some answers I will give my report. ?
