2021 F150 Powerboost Lariat
I've noticed different models of the f-150 have different fake engine sounds the truck plays in the cab.

A buddy of mine has a 2022 3.5 and his truck sounds more like a V8, where my powerboost sounds like a V6.

Both are obviously 3.5 ecoboost engines but the default engine sounds are different.

I had a 2018 3.5 and although it was fake, I really enjoyed the fake engine noise, closest one I've heard to a V8.

Ford obviously spends time deciding what they want the driver to hear, and have created different options.

It makes me wonder if it can be reprogrammed.

Does anyone know anything about this? Has anyone figured out how to change it?

There are options to change/disable the fake engine noise in forscan, I believe.

Last time this discussion came up, there wasn't a clear answer if the PB even has fake engine sounds or not. Mine definitely doesn't sound like a V8 but it does have a bit more grumble vs my old truck with a 1st Gen EB. If it does indeed have fake noise, it's done way better and is harder to tell vs the fake noises my wife's '20 EB Mustang made.
