The button you refer to is part of the Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE) option which you don't have. You can get the (PSE) retro fitted to your car. It would be about £3K however..................

If you are happy to go non Porsche there are lots of fake noise systems such as these for about £1500 fitted.

How much?? :o :o :o
I’m also disappointed with the sound of my Macan S, but it is what it is. My personal solution is supplied by the Foo Fighters :D and works really well.

That is rubbish. My diesel has the PSE and it sounds fantastic (for a diesel). When I turn the PSE off there is a massive difference in sound.

An conventional exhaust won't make much difference to the sound on a diesel. That's why the PSE uses fake electronic sound like the other solutions I posted.

This is not true. The PSE is a different exhaust system and has flaps which bypass part of the silencer boxes in the rear sections. The flaps are operated by an electric actuator. Standing behind the car the difference is very marked when the flaps open and close.

And we’ve aired this subject once or twice before.........

As above. I had the PSE retrofitted to my SD and it has a lovely rorty sound when you give it the beans and it's certainly not fake. It also gives a nice growl at ticker. It'll never be a petrol engine sound but it's certainly sporty. I've no regrets and it was £2,200 when I had it fitted.

I stand corrected then sorry, interesting. Most other manufactures do it via fake sound. I thought the PSE used a combination of the two but apparently not.

I would like to get the PSE but not at £3K.
