Deactivating sound generator?
 

if there is a sound symposium, its doing a crap job.

Sound Generator B63 2018
 

Our cars are E63 amg, not CLA. News to me the CLA has this feature, doubt it.

Try the BMW forums- they got answers

Exactly. No sounds generator in the E63. I'm not sure why people try to solve non-existing issues :)

Sound Generator B63 2018
 

According to Mercedes CLA 250 brochure, the fake engine sound is piped into the vehicle through the sound system. In the 2017, the B63 build sheet indicates "engine noise over speaker." That changed to "Sound Generator" in 2018 but does not appear in any 2018 E-class brochure or manual. See the below link to the description for the "sound" in the CLA 250..

“Ambience

Sporty engine sound - matching the sound to your
drive mode.

The equipment for the sporty engine sound generates an excitingly sporty
engine sound in the vehicle interior based on the selected drive mode and
engine parameters, such as engine speed, load and road speed. As such,
the driver can experience an authentic sports car sound via the sound
system without causing unnecessarily loud exterior noises. Conversely, the
engine noise remains subtly in the background when a comfortable mode
(ECO, Comfort) is selected via DYNAMIC SELECT. The sporty engine sound
can be switched off if desired.” https://mercedesbenzme.com/qatar/en/...s/cla/features

I don't think it is "urban legend." See below:

To be clear, the sound generator is not in the E63. Simple as that. What you are describing are for small engine non-AMG models, such as the A, B, CLA, C & E Class, along with other SUV variants. Typically the 200, 250, 300 engine designations 4 cylinders. I heard that the 450 V6 engines may also have that to sound like a V8 but it's important that this is not inclusive of any V8 or the AMG's we are discussing here.

No kidding :)

Any interest in starting a thread discussing your stereo upgrades? If not, that's cool . Maybe just a list of components you uograded, etc?

Find the "base system" quite good. It was much better than the system in the loaner E400 but yet they both look the same?
Since this is a AMG was it upgraded as part of the AMG package?

I know that the motion and lighted twitters option look interesting but not sure of the benefit?

I also find the base sound system quite good. Leaps bettter than the w212 system for sure. I wouldn't want a full rip and replace...maybe some additional bass, and swap the highs out. I really don't know, but I feel it could use a little something. Fwiw, I listen to mainly electronic music...house, deep house, chill out, etc.

My November build includes the high-end Burmester. It was the one thing my wife and I disagreed about. She thinks it's nuts. She's not crazy about losing trunk space either. I'm hoping it will sound good enough that I don't have to eat dirt.

Sorry to say but I think you must be imagining things. There is no sound generator in the car or in the audio system. Since there is no artificial sound like BMW, there would be to be a physical microphone in the car for that. I had recently fuses pulled and the car sounded the same...

I also listen exclusively to prog house, deep house, chill, ambient etc (not "EDM" bull****, proper underground electronic music) and Im on the fence about adding the 3D High End on my build. My first ever AMG. They bumped the price up to $5,400 so it warrants a think. However, Im pretty sure I'll end up getting it because i'll regret it if I dont Im sure.

Switching to Sport and beyond not only stiffens the three-chamber air springs, firms up the adaptive dampers, quickens shifts, and increases steering effort; it also causes the audio system’s speakers to amplify the engine’s noise. It’s cheating, but it’s cheating for our team—and, more important, it doesn’t sound fake. That’s the V-8 playing through the speakers.

Our test car’s tailpipe music was enhanced by the $1250 dual-mode AMG Performance exhaust option. Some additional sound also is piped in through the speakers, but it sounds like a live recording of the actual engine, so we’ll give that trickery a pass.

Mercedes does pump a few subtle, engine-enhancing frequencies through the E63’s audio system.

Mercedes quotes 3.3 seconds to 60 mph, launch control engaged, and while we'll always miss AMG's old naturally aspirated V8s, this 4.0-liter twin-turbo sounds just as rude. Yes, some of the engine noises are piped through the stereo. It's a pipe organ you can live with.

​​​​​​I'm with you man. Admittedly, I'm not an audiophile, however, I do like to listen to loudish music, with strong base, and reasonable clarity, low distortion, etc. The 5400 is steep in my mind, particularly for the sources I use. Better value for me to spend 2000 and get it right how I want it.
