Disabled with my Forscan. Also added Bambi setting for high beams and changed Panic Button to double click.

Tried searching but couldn't find an answer (sorry if this has already been asked somewhere else). Is it possible to check/disable fake engine noise without Forscan?

I don’t think it is without Forscan. You may be able to ask the dealer to do it, but they may not.

If Ford is making fake engine sounds, why not make it sound like a GT500???

? Why not give us a choice of what it sounds like? Train, semi, farts, EV...

Or White Noise to actually quiet things down.

I disabled it and noticed a difference. You don't notice it when it's on, but off you immediately notice it's quieter. But then I put bigger tires so now my truck goes WUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR.

I HAD to disable the fake engine noise if I wanted to keep my subwoofer.

My sub decided that the FEN was the exact part of the music I really wanted to hear so it amped it up for me.
