It appears that the vaunted Ford Mustang the original pony car,
according to Jalopnik has succumbed to piping in enhanced engine
noise
through the speakers.
Autoblog investigated further, speaking to Ford engineer Shawn Carney
who revealed that the engine-sound augmenting system is called Active
Noise Control, and that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang
comes with it. The system both enhances noise and cancels out some
coarse noise.
[The system] layer[s] in certain sound characteristics on top of
whats
already there, Carney told Autoblog. The intent is to be a natural
experience.

It sounds like the logo for that particular car should be an ace of spades
and a clothspin.
