Thread: Ford fakes V8 engine noise on their Ecoboost engines

    Ford fakes V8 engine noise on their Ecoboost engines

    https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...nto-v6-trucks/

    Under hard acceleration, the speakers play a V8 soundtrack over what little you hear of the turbocharged 2.7- and 3.5-liter EcoBoost sixes. Added sound deadening means you hear less turbo whoosh than before, too.

    On a good audio system it should sound convincing. Tesla should do the same.

    Or, pick from a variety of engine sound tracks, including a Ferrari V-12.

    I find everything that Ford is building and doing right now as a company to be a real disappointment. This is just another example of that disappointment being manifested.

    If I care about the sound my engine makes then I want it to have at least 8 cylinders because reasons.

    The BMW M2 puts engine noises on the stereo, and on the one a friend had, it was not possible to disable the effect nor adjust its volume.

    My poor-man Hyundai sounds like a luxury car when you're driving like it's a luxury car, but clears its throat and sounds darn good when you get on it (or get it on, either way).

    The new Ranger too? There should be a Ranger Raptor coming to the US. Isn't there a return of the Bronco in the works. A real Bronco.

    As an extremely satisfied 2018 Ford Raptor and Focus RS owner, I love what Ford is doing now.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
