Yep reason why I never drive my C4 in sport mode with PSE on. Absolutely hate the engineered fart noises. Hope the 992.1 got rid of that

LOL - I don't mind looking like an idiot. My first GT3 was GT silver... never again!

I'm sorry you lost your sense of taste after your GT3 lmao. I bet you'll look back on this, reflect on your T ownership, and agree with me down the road on the farts

That being said different strokes for different folks and I can respect that! oh and farts or no farts, T still a hell of a car. Always said that

You're going to sacrifice some sound when you go turbo. And you're going to gain torque. It's a trade-off. Even the GT2 RS, which I love and consider to be one of the best sounding turbo-charged cars I've ever heard, does not sound like the GT3 RS. But if the exhaust sound on the Carrera T is the car's only weakness (per Cormid), that says something pretty spectacular about the car. I've been buying and enjoying Porsches for over 20 years now and, pound for pound (or fun per dollar), the Carrera T is right up there with the best I've driven.

Ok, we need an audio/video clip of these "farts" for the rest of us not fortunate enough to own a T.

to be honest I actually quite enjoy the sound from the 3.0 engine with (PSE always on for me)

From cold start, from low RPM to high RPM. In terms of aggressiveness/emotion it's spot on/surprisingly good IMO. And at cold start/*lower* RPMs I would say it's louder than a stock .2 GT3 with PSE on

I don't have any complaints, even coming from GT experience now except 1) the unnecessary backfire noises it makes only in sport mode with PSE on, and 2) admittedly not the biggest fan of the specific pitch/tone/whistle of the turbo with the windows down for some reason, just feel like Porsche's execution on it was less than perfect *in my humble opinion*

Adds a small Tesla-esque sounding element to the otherwise amazing sound. Windows up nothing no whistle

5:40ish Nick explains (or watch the whole video)

The 3.0 in the 991.2 Carreras, when in sport mode with PSE option on, make that overrun noise *every* time you lift off the accelerator in any gear

So when you are driving away from your local Whole Foods in sport mode with PSE on at 9mph in 1st and you lift off throttle for the incoming speed bump, you will be farting in front of the pedestrians

Speaking of exaggerated exhaust noise, I had a Shelby GT350R and the pops and bangs were way too much for me (I must be getting old), so I sold the car. The T's pops and bangs are just about perfect. And you can always turn it off and run in Sport Plus to not hear it anyway. Let's face it we all enjoy a loud fart once in a while.

Maybe it's just their gentle way of reminding you not to turn on PSE in the Whole Foods parking lot.

When mountain driving with others behind me, I've received many positive comments about my burps and farts. People say "I can't believe how good that car sounds."

Porsch

Agree with you.

Same here.
