Mustang Ecoboost has engine noises through the stereo

[LaserSVT]

No, not alternator whine or ground loops. The stereo makes engine noises. When they did it in the Focus I thought that was retarded. Now I know someone there went full retard. Gotta be some VPs nephew or something that still draws with crayons. Sitting in a board room meeting one day and he blurts out "The stereo should go 'VROOOMMMM!'" and someone nodded for fear of their job while that VP was watching.

That's how I am going to imagine it anyway.

I think it's clever, but I don't drive boring cars.

Yea the base model Equinox subwoofer is used to baffle engine noise. The subwoofer does not even connected to hear with the stereo.

Clever sure, but gimme the option to turn that bullshit off. That being said, properly engineer a fucking exhaust system, lazy asses!

It was annoying in my Focus.

Wish they'd have this feature in my super duty to make it sound like a diesel.

My EcoBoost sounds like a clickity sewing machine with some occasional turbo whistle. I doubt I'd ever put any sort of exhaust on it, b/c they seem to be about the worst sounding V6's out there.

LOL, which Super Duty do you have?

[Shorty]

BMW M5 was doing this years ago.

That's better than those fart-cans where everybody hears the lameness.

The new one.

Yeah, I've heard a few hot rodded EB trucks and was not impressed with the sound.

I'm wondering if the 4 cyl EcoBoost's will sound any better with exhaust, or if it is going to have the same "fart can" sound as other 4 cyl cars.
