Right, almost every "sporty" car today uses a similar setup. The reason is engine bay sound insulation is much better today. This caused complaints from customers that they couldn't tell the engine was running or that they were revving it out. Pumping in intake sounds is one thing, but some are using an electronic "fake" sound as well. I think the worst example of this was the Fiat Abarth 500. Or maybe it was a Renault. One had selections for different engine sounds which was cheesy to say the least.
