Propulsion sound?

[majerus]

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.

All about terminology..............

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.

I use this one when driving in Amish country...

so to be clear theres no way to enable the in cabin propulsion sound if you dont have a platinum trim? 23 lariat lightning here.

Just responded to your message, but I guess I'll put it here, too.

Does this mean you can on a 2023 lariat?

 

[advisorgee]

Yes. Was the first thing I turned off with forscan when I bought the truck.

Turning off the pedestrian warning sound is such a bad idea; and possibly illegal. It definitely is in Canada. Turning off the frunk one for makes sense, and I wish the backup one was quieter but I do understand why it is there.

I’m only talking about the in cabin population sound that makes it sound like an engine when you accelerate.

Note:
22/23 Lariat and below will have a 8 here and Platinums a C.
24/25 Lariat and below will have a 9 here and Platinums a D.
(In 24/25 they turned on LCWA - whatever that is)

If you find anything else than these values let me know. Also if flipping from 8 to C (or 9 to D) works to enable the in-cabin propulsion sound let me know year and trim. I'll add to FORScan mods.

I thought it had been tried before though and failed.

EDIT: This may just enable a toggle in Settings to turn Propulsion Sound on and off. Be curious if it works for non-Platinums.

You guys will have to try and see. I'm not sure.

 

[Kyler721]

Just made this change. Adds the toggle but it does not stay toggled or enabled. Anyone know of another setting that might need to be changed?
