Question about fake engine noise
So I have a 2017 F150 XLT, with the 302a option package. I love the truck, however, when I hit the gas, it is impossible to hear anything, it is too quiet. I can not see putting on some exhaust system, but I am curious to see if Forscan can be used to pump in the fake sound like in higher trims. I am not one to care about the validity of the noise, I just want the noise when I hit the gas. Every other time in the truck I appreciate how quiet it is. Is this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes. It is my understanding, that my truck being a XLT, does not have the fake noise at all. It is extremely quiet. You literally cannot hear any real, fake, or any other type of noise from the motor. I do not think the XLT's have the fake noise.

LMAO.
The number of posts from people wanting to turn it off....
You have a turbo, right? Not the 5.0?
You do know that car companies are working towards noise cancellation technology to make the inside quieter, right?
Have you tried saying "vroom, vroom" as you drive?

2018 F150 Platinum FX4
Is the motor running?
I have the 3.5 and it sounds quite nice when you put your foot in it. Do not want to hear it all the time, like the peace and quiet!

Yes. The motor is running. Once again, you have a Platinum, so what you are hearing when you hit the gas is part motor, part fake noise. I do not have the fake noise, and the motor is whisper quiet. Thats nice on the highway, but when you have it floored, its nice to hear something. I want what you have, so to circle back around, does anyone know if a forscan can actually activate this option on for me?

I think you need the premium sound package or whatever it's called.
With a good exhaust system, you can get what you want. It'll run about $1100 USD, plus labor to install.
