F-150 Lightning acceleration sound - like it or not?

Not in my Lariat... SO it looks like that goes along with the messaging seats and the bigger rims

I'm not yed19, but here's my Lariat screen. No propulsion sound. I even searched the manual for propulsion the other day and it finds nothing.

Probably be just fine...............until you hit someone in a parking lot...Then?

You’re done!

If I remember call correctly, the propulsion sound is internal ti the cabin. I could be wrong...

That’s correct. The external warning sounds are federally mandated.

Pretty selfish to disable the pedestrian sound.

Have you ever been around a lexus ES300 or Cadillac DTS they make less noise than an without the propulsion sound.

RIP DTS, what a beauty.

Regarding the inside noise, there's a 98% chance I'd have it turned off. However, more options are always fun. People love seeing the little Easter eggs in my Tesla, throw a few of them in the Lightning and it adds some character.

Some of you people are equating disabling the pedestrian sound to driving through a Sunday farmers market at 80mph. Its possible to avoid hitting pedestrians with a quiet car.

I did notice the fan for HVAC is fairly loud from outside the truck.

An after market train horn should do the trick

Interestingly enough, my F-150 Lighning doesn't offer the option for the "Propulsion Sound" below the one-pedal driving and rear diff-lock... those two are the only two options in that screen.

If I am remembering correctly, the propulsion sound is a platinum trim only thing.

Great - I'd never use it and with the settings cluttered the way they are already, I'll take (the lack of) it!

EV west sells an electrically activated “trolley bell” so you don’t have to honk the horn at folks. Just hit the trolley bell button and it is more akin to a bike bell so it doesn’t scare people. https://www.evwest.com/catalog/prod...d=448&osCsid=44fd47494c8f1264847bc515689e1409
