Is the platinum propulsion sound any different than the rest? You can hear the propulsion sound if you watch the truck drive away or stop near you (outside)
Exterior wise, I believe it's the same tone / volume.

I can very subtly hear my exterior sound also, more so when in the garage with the passenger window down.
Is there a different sound to the platinums? I can hear my propulsion sound from the outside.

The propulsion sound is only inside of the truck from what I recall. It is basically a fake engine sound, that gets louder the more you press the accelerator.

The pedestrian warning sound is the same on all trucks. This is the one outside of the truck. I have mine bypassed now since it was so damn annoying.

Yes, that is exactly it. Fake engine sound. Harder I press on the go pedal, the louder it gets. That would be nice to project outside so people hear it when you come up behind them. The truck I have has never had an outside sound, except a reverse beeper/ tone. Outside must be turned off? Aa far as I can tell until I used Forscan, everything was as set from the Factory. I'll check to see tomorrow if the speaker is disconnected or turned off in Forscan.

The sound outside is on if your below like 20 or 30mph, unless you bypass it with a physical device which I have installed. The engine sound isnt possible to pass to that external speaker, also that speaker is super small which I imagine would sound like shit even if it was possible.

There's a sound?
i don't think mine makes a peep. I startled someone who was standing in a parking lot when I pulled up next to them. They didn't realize I was there until they turned around.

The truck indeed emits a noise. If your in a garage, the noise comes on when shifting out of park. Its like an electronic hum. Reminds me of a UFO hovering over the house lol. But I have noticed that on other EVs you can hear them from a couple of feet away because their noise is so loud and distinct. You can barely hear the Lightning in a closed room.
Yes it reminded me of a UFO also, in particular the one I heard the last time I was abducted and experimented on.
