did i miss something? I knew T4 will get fake enhancers, v6 and v8 get mechanical directed noise to cabin...but I didn't see anything about active noise cancellation.
I like the idea frankly....if i have the family in the car for a long sunday drive or something...or if i need to take a Hands free phone call. |
I think you are reading too much into it....The I-4 gets the noise cancellation through the speakers, and engine enhancement sound thru the speakers (if you get the optional bose stereo system) and it can be turned off if desired...
The v-6 and v-8 get resonator sound , but I don't believe it comes thru the speakers....
The I-4 is speaker enhanced, (non-mechanical)....v-6 and v-8 are mechanically enhanced, (not by stereo or speakers)...
"There has to be a catch somewhere, and it'll make induction noise purists cringe. The turbo I4 will lean on several sound enhancement technologies to prevent it from sounding like a tractor motor. All of them will get active noise cancellation operating through the speakers; Bose-equipped examples will also get enhancement that cranks up the good 2-liter sounds—which can be user-disabled, thankfully.
The V6 and V8 models don't get away scot-free, either. Induction resonators will passively direct engine compartment sounds into the cabin.On the other hand, the V6 and the V8 both have available dual-mode exhaust systems, which feature electronically-actuated valves that increase exhaust flow (and volume) under acceleration. The system opens up more in "track" mode, and can quiet things down in a user-selectable "stealth" mode. I didn't get a chance to hear the V8 clear its throat, but our pre-production V6 models both had the performance exhaust fitted. The tuned exhaust note was highly distinctive; think
Infiniti VQ37, but less cartoonish and throatier"
