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?

I wonder if they can simulate the sweet exhaust purr of a V-12
Allison.

Give them time; there will be an app for that.


How about the whine of a high revving 2 stroke. LOL.


Or better yet, a "Buzzin' Dozen"

Oh, crikey! There are more of them.
