Fake engine sounds?

[Jms81661]

To disable this you need to get the correct type of OBD2/USB link cable, a licensed (free or paid) copy of Forscan and use it to disable the "Software Engine Sound Enhancement" in the ACM module.

All the information you need can be found here.

Just be sure to read up about using Forscan before getting started. It is an extremely powerful tool and you can brick the system if not careful. Best advise is to keep a list of all changes you make so so you can keep track of them and I cannot stress this enough ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS back up the modules before you make any changes. This way if something goes wrong you can revert back.

Ok I didn't do what you recommended about backing up stuff. Cuz I doubt I know how to. But is there a simple way to go back to all stock settings?
Gotta bring my truck in for them to install the latest Sync update cuz it killed my FordPass. I've tried everything suggested but it won't work anymore.
Do you think I should reset it to stock before I bring it in, think they'll see it if they're just updating sync?
I just did,? um..door chimes, Bambi mode, auto start/stop, and my speedo for the bigger tires.
Possibly more but I can't remember, that why I thought I'd go back to stock and write everything down before I change things again.

You don't need to reset your settings if they're doing upgrades. You will be fine, these aren't changes that will likely retain after their upgrade, I would be unsurprised if they reset to stock as part of the process (my dealer had done that with mine).

i had a few of the s550 mustangs and they had the sound tube thing. eh.. still kinda dumb but at least it was not fake. didnt bother me long. got rid of the resonators put in h pipe and better mufflers and never thought about sound tubes again. i think any time we hear the 2.3 ecoboost and it dont sound like an angry bumble bee, or a 90's civic with the coffee can exhaust, mismatched fiberglass wings and scoops duct tapped on- ?we are hearing the fake noise. im glad the new rangers are pretty quiet. i dont want anyone hearing my turbo charged sewing machine lol. if i ever get forscan figured out safely the fake noise will be on the list.
