“Sound waves are captured from electro-mechanical vibration in the axles“

Finally! Electronic sound is fine if it is the actual sound of the car instead of some fake recording of a v8

Porsche did something similar for the 4 cylinder 718s. There is a microphone, processor and amplifier above the exhaust that feeds a speaker unit in the cabin to “enhance” the sound that is muffled due to the turbo.

It is good for aggressive driving but just creates a bad drone when highway cruising. Good have been implemented much better. Lots of people pull the fuse to disable it.
