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?
