This should only be allowed if the sound is directed onto the cabin vs outside Let them nerds hear their fake sounds and leave the rest of us in peace

I want to modify my car engine sound like Rocket League.
Soon: engine custom sound DLC
BMW already did it
I want mine to sound like the monoliths from 2001.
Gimmie that motormouth sound.
I want mine to make that buzzing sound that you hear bugs make when they fly into your ear canal.
This is ridiculous as fuck. What kind of moron actually wants this?
The type of person who feels emasculated driving an electric car.
What's the overlap between that group and the group of people who would drive one?
Considerable, but only because their truck costs so much to fill and they had to sell the boat to cover their alimony and child support.
No clue. Even car guys think this is lame.
Dodge is just grasping to find any foothold in a market that has no future for muscle cars.
Meh, I do the same with a beer mat attached to my bike wheel, and it only cost me 10 beers!
Everyone in these comments seems to be overlooking the fact that EV's are required by law to have noisemakers, pedestrians need to be able to hear a vehicle approaching.
Sure, but does it have to be loud and obnoxious?
Quite the sci-fi name for fake engine noises.
dedicated 600W amplifier
Strange that anyone would voluntarily trade electricity (which must be generated) for car sounds.. explicitly reducing total driving range the louder you get 😂
It is ridiculous, but it's also exactly what is happening with loud combustion engines. Any sound coming from it is just higher-entropy (i.e., unused) energy being produced and promptly lost instead of contributing to power.
The system is also designed to transmit vibrations into the chassis through elastomeric bushings, mimicking an internal combustion engine and its motor mounts.
I get that EVs need to make noise, but what the fuck is this? One of the best things about driving something without an ICE is the car doesn't vibrate at all while it's on.
Its like vaping vs smoking
This is Dodge. The car must be “manly.”
No matter what stupid contortions they must use to do it… like an otherwise useless dedicated 600w amplifier(!). The car must be “manly.”
Welcome to the fartzone.
FARTSONIC SCAT PACK
"Hey bruh, sounds sick what pipes you got on there"
"Duuude it's a 15" in a 3.8cf box, running 1800w at 1ohm"
"Oh..."
Why would anyone want that sound when instead they could have Enterprise D at warp 4?
I dunno. Is it like “tofurkey” masquerading as turkey? It’s not fooling anyone. I’m not against EV at all, and maybe we need to fake an exhaust note to cover some egos in the transition to EV, but I’d rather just call a spade a spade. Throw some straight cut gears and some hard shifts into the lower gears to get some noise or something.
Most EVs just have one permanently engaged gear, so yeah, not really possible
This system just makes you a very sad little man with a little peepee
