I have a 2011 GTI, as mentioned in the article, and it does have that sound generator. I unplugged it, and instead, added this kid to my trunk. I always loved the sound of an Italian V12.

My FR-S has a "noise generator".

You mean the actual exhaust or a speaker?

First I heard of such things was a setup that played turbo blowoff sounds.

It was roundly and correctly scorned at the time. I can't imagine the folks that actually care about their fancy cars will go for this.

From what I understand it actually keeps it quieter in the cabin. I was pretty drunk when reading about it though. Too lazy to search it out.

Can I get one for my Vespa that makes harley sounds –– you know for safety and all.

Engines are getting smaller and more powerful but this is a sad day.

For normal driving I'd rather have silence. I could go for active noise cancelling.

Look, I love cars as much as the next guy or even more. I love the sound a Ferrari makes but unless it's the real deal just give me quiet and I can hear the radio.

Really is the logical next step.

People put 'performance' exhaust and wings on cars that couldn't fart their way around a race track.

Posing is where it's at.

The newer Mustangs have a tube connecting the intake to the firewall to make more noise in the cab.
That is a factory Ford enginnered item.
