Xtra Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Does anyone know if the G2 Edge Sport has synthetic engine noise piped in ? I found this on the Ford Focus RS and it got me thinking about it. http://www.focusrs.org/forum/30-focus-rs-electronics/10073-disabling-fake-synthetic-cabin-engine-noise.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikula Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 i do not know for sure... but there is no way this v6 sounds that good in cabin. i'd be absolutely shocked if they didn't pump sound in under full throttle. on the other side of the argument, why would they pipe in sound on comfy crossover? i hope someone has an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 it's not piped in, it's electric and used to cancel out ambient noise. I have mine turned off via forscan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Is this actually true??? Maybe all those guys who like super loud exhaust systems on their vehicles can now keep it to themselves in the cabin!!!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 The Edge has what is called ANC. It is meant to keep the cabin quiet. There is no engine noise piped into the vehicle. The F150 3.5 ecoboost is an example of a vehicle that has ENE which is enhanced engine sound being simulated by the audio system. Turning off ANC in the Edge will actually make the cabin louder inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmr061 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 On all models? What years? Where is the setting? There is no user setting available. I don't have access to the service manual right now but it should be the 15 Sport...other ecoboost engines may be included but until I have access to the service manual I can't verify that.

jmr061 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) I thought this topic was covered before and I found it...here is the service manual info on ANC for the 15+ ANC - 2.7L Only ANC is an audio system feature that eliminates a certain range of low frequency engine noise within the passenger compartment typically induced under wide open throttle or heavy part-throttle conditions. The system uses 3 microphones, a DACMC (contained within the ACM), and the audio system speakers. The DACMC determines the noise frequency to be canceled based upon engine rotation speed data, engine torque data, and accelerator pedal position data from the PCM, as well as microphone input signals. The ANC microphones are located in the headliner and monitor the engine noise resonating in the passenger compartment. The microphones transmit this noise as analog signals to the DACMC (contained within the ACM), where they are converted into digital signals by the integrated analog/digital converter. The digital signals are processed and an inverted phase sound wave with the same amplitude as the original sound is created. This new sound is converted into an analog audio signal, transmitted to the DACMC internal tone generator, and output by the ACM to the audio DSP module as fluctuating AC voltage. The audio DSP module sends the signal to the LHF door speaker, RHF door speaker, and subwoofer speaker as fluctuating ACvoltage.

Tightanium Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) High tech. I need something like that in my classic car to help cancel rattle and wind noises. Ha ha. Edited November 23, 2017 by Tightanium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks jmr061, If I understand what you are saying the system works like the Bose noise cancelling headphones . Thats good news for I enjoy a quiet ride and did not want some synthetic engine audio added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 If you follow the reference above, it really does seem that exhaust noise 'is' being piped in under hard acceleration. The author in the other forum clearly stated that disconnecting the module made his car quieter. About the only way one could verify that the same "enhancement" exists in the Edge Sport is to disconnect the same two wires and listen.

NoDTMF Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 it's not piped in, it's electric and used to cancel out ambient noise. I have mine turned off via forscan Nick, do you have the Forscan PID? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 When I said "piped in" it was slang for electronically added. Not an actual pipe like a plumbing pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 When I said "piped in" it was slang for electronically added. Not an actual pipe like a plumbing pipe. There's many cars that actually do "pipe in" engine noise. My old Subaru BRZ had a pipe that ran from the air box to the footwell on the passenger side. I plugged the hole with a $0.10 piece from Home Depot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Concerning the ANC, it's only active when the radio, CD, DVD, etc. is turned off. To turn of the ANC, turn on the radio and turn the audio all the way down. http://lincolnmkxforum.com/topic/2496-active-noise-cancellationexplained/?do=findComment&comment=11569 .

pinyin Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I remember driving a few 1985 Mustang SVO's (the 2.3L Turbo engines from the Merkur's) and they all had a turbo speaker in the center of the dashboard that piped in the turbo spooling sound from the engine. It was a fairly unique feature at the time, but also kind of gaudy. I prefer the noise cancelling feature of our Edge Sports for quiet, non fatiguing highway driving. If I were in my teens or twenties though I would probably prefer a blow off valve or piped in turbo spool like in a Focus RS or Fiesta ST. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were in MY teens or twenties again, I'd be chasing girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
