Not sure if the base model has it.

It does not have it. It is in the Elite and up.

 

[TheRick]

Ok thank you cza11

2.0T Sport has it as well, so actually 2.0T Sport and up it seems...

Ive got an answer from a Genesis representative and he said all G70 model has it. But how can I have access to it ? Do I need to go be in sport mode ? Seem to can't find it in the menu.

Somebody know where I can find it on those model ?

Thanks

If you have it, it will be on the nav screen in vehicle settings:

 

[TheRick]

Ok thank you very much, Im gonna check it. And let you know guys

Thanks for all the help

 

[TheRick]

Its look like I don't have the option. I'm gonna check with Genesis if maybe its not a software update that need to be done

 

[Beefer]

The base model does not have it. You can call your Genesis rep and let him know that he should learn his cars.

I can't tell the difference between any of these sounds. How about anyone else out there?

Me neither. I was playing around with it the other day, can't tell a difference. Though, I do have an aftermarket exhaust, but it's not a ton louder than stock.

Same here. Decided to try playing with it the other day for the first time, I honestly could not hear a difference even between "enhanced" and "off."

 

[danygenesis]

I've tried to feel the difference but I was unable to hear anything too. I thought it was because my hearing loss but now I can see I'm not the only one.

 

[mpjufl]

It does appear to be hard to hear, I agree.

 

[tarhoosier]

Is it because the subwoofers are part of the engine sound system (if they are)? If they are too limited, or not working, the sounds and vibration disappear.

Try it at WOT in sport mode and you should hear it. Not sure if stereo volume impacts it or not, but the one time I did play around with it, I had the volume around 15.

It was discussed in another thread, but the noise isn't really added at all points in the RPM range and I believe anything short of sport limits the effect as well. It's largely there to make you feel like you have a race car when you mash the pedal

Oh dang, I didn't know that. I'll have to try it again, I'm curious now.

I can attest to the fact that volume knob setting has no effect in volume of active sound. ASD setting — Normal, Enhanced, etc. — does have a subtle effect. Try switching between enhanced and off. You’ll notice the difference and will be able to discern whether you like the artificial sound or not. Loudness increases with RPMs, not throttle input.
