I quite like the sound. I wouldn't mind if it were a tad louder but just a tad.

2 to 3% of the sound is not real according to reports and even then it is amplifying what you would hear anyway. If you can hear this, you have better ears than me... maybe it's the placebo effect

If you didn't know that it has Active Sound, would you say the same thing? No. How do you know which sound is "fake" and which is not. Active Sound is 2%. In my math, that means that 98% is real. How can anyone say that they can hear and define the 2%.

I think it sounds great!!

What exactly are you hearing that is fake? Could you describe it? The turbos make a whistling sound... it ain't fake. The exhaust makes a loud sound... it ain't fake. Could you describe the fake sound?

How do you know what you are hearing is fake and not a real sound from the exhaust or engine?

Open the windows and stomp on it. That should clear up any sound issues.

Sublime is the word I believe you will arrive at.
