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."

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

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


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

Blasphemer!

The Allison V-1710 was the original engine of the REAL Mustang, the
P-51, and of my sentimental favorite the P-40. Tho I'd gladly settle
for the sound of the British Merlin that gave the P-51B/C high
altitude performance.

Love the Mustang's roar. But who's to say the rice burners don't have
an exquisite sound themselves?

(Heh, heh, heh. Most of us, prolly.
