Propulsion sound?

[Iroc34a]

Has anyone figured out a way to change the sound generator, like on a Tesla. Sound is ok (I assume people can hear the truck sound outside the truck?) Seems awful low volume. Maybe a Ferrari F1 V 12 sound would wake em up LOL. Plus, the sound makes the truck quicker, like stickers.

There's a sound?

I’m also wondering how to change the sound. I think it’s referred to as the pedestrian warning sound. A few different sound options on the screen would be nice.

There's supposed to be an audible tone when an electric vehicle is traveling under (I think) 30 mph so people around it can hear. If the Lightning is making one I can't hear it in the cab, but I can hear a backup tone...

I live in a neighborhood with narrow streets, and no sidewalks, so folks typically walk in the middle of the roadway. When I come up behind them, I have yet to have anyone notice the vehicle till I’m 15-20feet away, and at that point you should hear the tires. So if there is a noise, it’s pretty minimal. I do hear a whirrr when accelerating from zero, but I don’t know if that’s coming from speakers or the motors.

The truck indeed emits a noise. If your in a garage, the noise comes on when shifting out of park. Its like an electronic hum. Reminds me of a UFO hovering over the house lol. But I have noticed that on other EVs you can hear them from a couple of feet away because their noise is so loud and distinct. You can barely hear the Lightning in a closed room.

I don't know if it ever went into production (not on the Borla site) but they showcased a system a while back - Listen to Borla's “Exhaust” for the Ford F-150 Lightning EV | Ford Lightning Forum

On main screen Propulsion Sound. On my truck it sounds like a gas engine with an aftermarket exhaust. Pretty cool. But not loud enough. We should be able to turn it up or down plus change it to other sounds using Forescan.

Yikes, don't know why the Pic looks like that certainly doesn't on my phone just 1 shot ? I'll take another here in a few minutes.

Everyone please keep in mind that the in cab sound is for Platinum level trim only. Ford cut it from lower trims.

For some reason when I upload any picture to the Forum it is pixelating it. ? Even a live shot. Any ideas?

Your prior photo post looks like a snapshot of your photo directory of recent shots.

Try selecting and uploading or "attaching" only a specific photo.

As mentioned above only Platinum trucks get simulated propulsion sounds in cab, as far as I know it's volume is fixed.

Does anyone know if the truck is actually silent apart from the speaker and tires, or does the truck naturally produce some sound?
