Difference in engine sound, 2023 vs. 2024 2.3L

[PearlJamFanLV]

I've now had my 2023 BB 2.3l 7mt for just about a year. I recently got my 2024 special order in, also a BB with 2.3l and 7mt, which I ordered so I could get the mid-package, not available on the 2023.

I've driven the 2024 several times recently, before final purchase. 2 things I've noticed. The sound under acceleration is totally different. The 2024 sounds, dare I say, "throaty" with a nice growl. The 2023 is kind of subdued. I also believe it's faster. Now that could be my butt Dyno talking. The traction control comes on much more under accept and turning. I will have to do some 0-60 times using my OBD-II adapter and app.

I did. It see any changes listed online or in the order guide (I work at a Ford dealership)

Anyone else notice this?

2024 gets fake engine noise for all trim levels, apparently. Before it was just the B&O packages.

There is a discrepancy in your profile and what you ascribe above regarding your 2023 Bronco. Profile indicates a Big Bend 2.3L 7MT. Yet, you claim that you have a 2023 Badlands 2.3L 7MT.

The MY'24 Bronco will have the faux piped in engine note.

I kinda wish I could enable it on my 23 BB just once to see what it sounds like. I keep imagining my engine isn’t a Singer sewing machine

100% correct, I made the change. They are both Big Bends. Not sure what I was thinking after a few IPA's.

I so think it's worth it. Even if fake at least it sounds better than what it was.

I obviously did not do enough searching, thanks for the link.

My previous ride was a Focus RS. Which was also a 4 cylinder and I loved the sounds it would make as I rowed through the gears.
