Drone, to some degree, is very personal. Some will hear while another's ears will be less sensitive. I have not noticed it other than you can not avoid the engine and road noise at higher speeds. i have a DD for smooth sailing but i will try to notice tomorrow and report back

Is it just me, or does Schmee own, maybe, three shirts?

Drone has always been my excuse for not getting a center muffler delete. If the car has drone from the factory that may be my excuse to go aftermarket and wake up the neighbors...

Both GT3.1 and GT3.2 have drone with the PSE engaged. Just turn it off.

I recently did a 4,000+ kms road trip in my GT3.1 and my GT3.2. With PSE off, it's fine. Still loud (engine and road noise), but fine. But hey, this ain't no highway cruising machine,

My ears are not hearing any drone between the two different cars. Might be me since I have had turbo toys with real drone issues before.

Drone? Nope. Just drove it on the freeway today at around that speed. Definitely louder than my GTS, but that is expected and welcomed. Sounds great with the Sharkwerks. I wish it were louder, LOL!

A relevant point.
I suspect it may be referring to a pdk.

I thought Schmee was more a "Shrill" annoying sound not so much of a "drone"...
