Yup. Search "fake engine noise". Many discussions on it. Its not exactly the normal engine noise, but an enhanced noise to sound a bit beefier. This is not unique to Ford or the Raptor, others do it too. You can turn it off thru Forscan if it offends you.

FWIW I turned it off, then turned it back on since the natural sound w/o enhancement, sounded like ass IMO.

It’s not that intrusive and sounds real enough. Sounds as if it’s coming from the exhaust. Not a big deal. You only hear it on acceleration

No it’s just that minimal. You really have to turn it off to hear the difference, mine is on as I think it sounds better than not.

I turned mine off. I traded in a Hemi Grand Cherokee for the Raptor. I liked the sound of the Hemi with CAI. The Raptor fake sound reminds me of a Subaru WRX with loud mufflers. I used to get embarrassed every time I got on the throttle in the Raptor until I learned it was only audible inside the truck. But thankfully I was able to turn that off, it's just not for me.

How do you turn it off? Will it also turn off the horn when you get out of the truck with the keys when it’s started????

Hey guys

I called my dealer and asked about turning the exhaust through the speakers off and the technician didn’t really know how to do this .can someone kinda explain it so I can relay the info to him.

Or anyone in the San Jose Gilroy area that can help me out ?

Thanks
