Default A 'natural experience,' my foot

When Road & Track’s Jason Cammisa busted a fuse during a recent drive

of
the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, he discovered something odd. Both the
engine and the stereo went silent inside the car.

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

what’s
already there,” Carney told Autoblog. “The intent is to be a natural
experience.”

Have they no sense of decency, sir?


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

(Does anyone still do that?)
