Mirsad, do you mean alarm sounds, such as if you don't fasten your seat belt, or if you open the door with the keys in the ignition? If that's what you mean, maybe they are adjustable by getting into the vehicle's computerised management system.
Nah, I think he's talking about the current trend in sports car manufacturers to claim the use of 'sound generators' when tuning the sound of their car, both from an external and internal perspective. My understanding is that the 'sound generators' are marketting fluff for some of the equipment they use in measuring the sound and comparing it against how they'd like it to sound and what changes need to be done to achieve this. It's not something which is actually installed in the cars.
Yeah, I was wondering the same. The sale person could not tell me anymore info as was offered. They laughed when I have told them the sound may have come from the speaker. It sounds very real though.
there are two sound generators or pipes that I'm aware of. One electronic such as a speaker system and in the case of the GTI, a sound pipe frm the intake system resonating through the firewall. If you can look under the bonnet or get the picture of one, it's the squashy tube to the right of the engine
and this is explanation that they are giving:
"VW has developed what it calls a ‘sound generator’, which is a device situated on the engine side of the bulkhead that receives signals from the engine management system to produce an ‘authentic’ sound track during spirited driving. Unfortunately, the only result of this is that what is a dull-sounding but refined engine note at a steady cruise becomes slightly less refined when you stretch the GTI’s legs."
I think that is more based on VW press realise...
Other are talking about new electronic 'sound generator' that transfers the engine's note into the cabin
Wonder if you can get one loud enough to make a diesel sound cooler?
The best thing to do Greg would be to follow a GTI closely with all your windows open ...... oh sorry .... that would mean you would have to keep up to the GTI which sadly would be impossible .....
Nah ... sorry ... there is nothing you can do to make your diesel sound like anything else than a Massey Ferguson tractor ...
