So, who uses the propulsion sound on their Mach E? I personally do not as I find it amusing to even have the option of making an EV sound like an ICE vehicle. Seriously, what’s the point, it’s fake at best. ?

Is a proportion sound some sort of fractional feature?

I assumed that was a typo, and you actually meant propulsion, but you typed proportion 3 times, so now I'm not so sure.

Off. Always off. One of the silly updates turned it on. Ugh not a good sound. If I have engine sound, it needs to be the rumpity sound of a big duration cam. The kind that makes the neighbors wish they didn’t buy where they did. Otherwise, I want quiet. ??

Can this sound be customized? Probably not officially, but more in the "jailbroken" manner if you follow.
I think Borla and a couple of other companies offer HW/SW kits that generate different sounds. Personal opinion of what I’ve heard is: “Yuck!” ??

I have it on, only as a necessity. My car suffers from a rare vibration resonance sound that I can't fix and multiple service departments can't figure out and I use the propulsion sound to mask some of that annoying sound. My last Mach-E, a premium, didn't have the odd resonance and in that car it was always off. I would prefer it that way in my GT but no one know how to fix it.

I enjoy it, but I have it off most of the time. I think it’s fun, but for my day to day, mostly off.
