Fake engine sounds?

[Tom_C]

I'm not sure if we have fake engine sound, but we have noise cancelation to reduce noises at all, maybe you mean this

There was a post I saw that mentioned there is fake engine sounds and it can be turned off with forscan. I assume it comes through the stereo, but not sure.

I'm pretty sure I have it in my 302a xlt an I want to turn it off.

Yes it can be turned off with Forscan. Just make sure you have the latest version and go into the ACM configuration. Look for "Software Engine Sound Enhancement" and disable it. You can also enable Software Anti Noise Canceling" if it's not. Made a huge difference in my 2019 XLT w/302A.

You may need to create a new profile in Forscan to see the ACM module if you haven't used Forscan for a while.

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.

The synthetic engine growl is at a constant level...if you're listening to loud music, this sound effect gets drowned out...

If I use a line level converter for a sub will it come through the sub?

2020 XLT sport here. Fake engine noise is there but minimal most of the time. It really becomes noticeable when you go WOT mode. Then it sounds really, really bad! ? Glad the truck really doesn’t sound like that!

I didn't know you could turn the fake noise off with the free version.

As far as I know you can do everything with Forscan with the trial (free) license that you can on the paid version. The only reason to pay for it is being able to use it for either the time frame paid for over the trial period or lifetime if you pay for that version. It also obviously supports the devs work so they can continue to improve functionality etc etc.

Yes, and if you like their work please do support them (like I did). That's what enables them to keep adding new features, and to give you the opportunity to try it before you pay for it.

You *could* do what you needed on their "free" trial license and then never pay. But then don't complain when companies make you pay first or give you a "crippled" version of the software to try before you have to pay. But if you can afford a 2019-2021 Ranger, you can probably afford $10 (for a year) or $50 (for lifetime) for a real license if it worked for you.

I didn't know it was that cheap I thought it was around $100 a year. Guess I'll get around to downloading it

Huh just went on YouTube to hear the difference with/without. I guess mine isn’t activated or something. ?

Noise cancellation ? Really ?

Does it cancel out noise coming in from the rear vents ?

Other than that, my SCab is quiet.

Is the fake or simulated engine noise only in the B&O sound systems? I have a 20 XLT Sport 4x4, 302A package and I don't hear it. Not that I want to but thinking of adding a sub and don't need or want simulated engine noise through the sub. Thanks for any advice.

I had an amp and sub installed and two additional six by 9s in boxes. Engine noise was pretty loud thru the sub ! But only if you cranked it up i had the seperate sub volume knob. I have b&o amp went out so i had a two chanel put in to run six by nines. There isnt a way to eliminate the engine noise from sub. I took it to dealership and they contacted the engineers at ford and still had no solution! It sounds great now two additional 6× 9s sit on the back seat extra wire to move them around and equalizer on phone really helps alot!!!!!
