Somewhere buried in the settings of the previous software we have an option to raise the artificial noise. The 2020 should have Touch pro duo and you can look around there to shift to dynamic sounds. It won't be Taycan-ish.

 

Thank you so much for your follow-up and advice. Though I thoroughly enjoy my two EV400 HSE sound systems (especially the top-of-the-line version in my new 2024 R-Dynamic w/ Carbon Accessories), As a professional musician, I've always had the option of listening to outstanding tracks with the equipment afforded me at home, in the studio, and on stage. I'm also the proud owner of a new 2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo with its incredible engineered audio engine revving and modeling sound! Also, I'm a top graduate of Porsche's Masters RSR RacingCertification. Thus, I love a full-throated, ️race-tuned, naturally asperated 8, 10, or 12-cylinder engine and adore that ambiance in my EVs.

Personally, I think it is silly to have artificial sounds. I would rather enjoy the entertainment sounds without that crap added "in the background".

I had a "unique event" a few months back. No audio at all from anything. No artificial sound. No radio. No blinker noises. No navigation instructions. Nothing from any USB or Bluetooth source. Absolutely nothing. The only noise in the car was tires on pavement. I didn't realize how much extra "noise" was coming from the infotainment speakers, even with radio, etc. turned off until then. Sadly, it reset itself after a 10 minute shutdown and hasn't blessed me since.

 

Surely you could download something from the 'net onto your phone and play that. Or failing that use your phone to record a local Taycan.🙂

Honestly, the concept of fake noise sits somewhere between fake news and fake currency for me.

 

It would be nice to be able to play a different sound for the engine

I personally never wanted artificial sounds but find that I enjoy the artificial sounds when I put it into dynamic. Makes it a little more fun. I like his it sound futuristic. My so says it sounds like a spaceship when I drive at night.

 

you the man

Our I Pace has an artificial gas engine sound... seems silly for an electric car. The sound might be a simulation of the 1960's era E Type In-Line 6 cylinder ICE. I once had a E Type V12, the I Pace sound simulation was not of a 12 cylinder. I'd rather hear the music from the sound system... the Meridian sound system is very good when it wakes up to operate. I once had a Lotus Esprit Turbo... that made an interesting deep sound like a Dragon inhaling the air getting sucked into the engine when the atmosphere conditions were just right, a deep sound one would not normally associate with a small 2.2L I4.

Yes one can 1 pedal drive a Jag I Pace. Regen on Maximum setting can bring the car to near 0 stop. The regen control is easy and automatic on I Pace, user select-able to 2 levels+OFF. The Porsche Taycan I drove has just ON/OFF + didn't seem as strong or as high as I Pace on Maximum setting. On some cars like Chevy Volt, regen is finger paddle switch behind the steering column the driver activates (not automatic when lifting off the throttle pedal).

 

Actually I like the Jaguar approach that the iPace didn't try to replicate an ICE engine. I forget which manufacturer made an EV that had an option to emulate "gear shifting" - why on earth would you want that ? I like the more out of the box "Jetson" style zoom sound that you can enable if you wish in Dynamic mode....

EV that tries to simulate gear shifting??? do they simulate the grind sound if it doesn't do the simulated clutch action correctly?

 

It’s an emulator or automatic transmission with the feeling of the shift…during acceleration instead of the complete gearless electric experience.

 

hey puppy you can turn that sound off

 

We had a 2017 Subaru Impreza with a CVT, and it simulated the shifts of a transmission, both revs and sounds. It was horrible.

 

The 2020 I-pace was not required to emit pedestrian warning sounds in the US at the time of build. It doesn't have speakers to support this. A complaint was filed with NHTSA for 2019-2020 model years but nothing came of it.

 

Ayepace,

I thought that the JLRNA HSE 2020s' ability to make very audible backup sounds was indicative of external speakers. Is an alternate/additional set of speakers required? My 2024 ½ R-Dynamic generates some sound when moving forward in Dynamic mode. But it’s not loud enough for most of our elderly hard-of-hearing residents to hear when moving at slow speeds. ~Levr 2025.06.21

 

2019-2020s do not have the ability to generate a pedestrian warning sound when moving forward at low speed.

From workshop manual for newer cars:

The acoustic vehicle alerting system provides a warning sound to alert vulnerable road users to the presence of a quiet vehicle at low speeds. The generated warning sound responds to load, speed and direction of travel to meet market specific regulations up to 4 pre-designed sound variants.

The warning sound produced is passed to the exterior synthetic sounder speaker. The speaker mounted behind the front grille is used to produce a sound to warn pedestrians of the approach of an EV.

The following signals are used for the EV sound design:

• Vehicle speed
• Electric engine
• RPM Vehicle torque demand TCS position
• Powerpack status
• The AAM contains software to operate the enhanced engine sound output.

The AAM records DTC if a fault occurs. The JLR approved diagnostic equipment reads the fault information.

A replacement AAM does not have the active sound design software installed. It is necessary to use JLR approved diagnostic equipment to install the software in the replacement AAM.

If the correct software is not installed in the AAM, the warning sound may not be generated.

Ayepace,

Thank you for this valuable insight. Although disappointing, at least I now know to focus my audio volume efforts on my 2024 ½ HSE R-Dynamic. I greatly appreciate this information, sir. ~Levr 2025.06.22
