Fake engine noise - 26 ST

[EdmontonST]

I wanted to post a quick note about disabling the fake engine noise in our Mid-March build ‘26 ST.

I downloaded the latest version of ForScan and went into the “APIM - Propulsion Sound Setting” and disabled it. This appears to have turned off the fake engine noise and now it’s much quieter in the cabin.

I also noticed that ForScan reported our 26 ST as a

“Lincoln Aviator EcoBoost Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection 3.0L 2026 ( 2024 MY )”

I was still able to make the change and it seems to have taken. This may be old news now, but from what I was reading when doing research it didn’t seem like this should have worked or it should have been this easy.

Does anyone have any feedback about how I disabled the fake engine noise?

It was supposed to be that 2025+ Job3+ cars couldn’t get FENG to go away. Interesting you got it to go away.

It’s my wife’s suv, I changed the setting and took it for a drive and instantly noticed the difference. I came home and sent my wife for a drive, she said she noticed right away the fake engine noise was gone and how much quieter it is.

So I can confirm the setting change worked and I now have a happy wife. I wanted to post my success in hopes it might help someone else. Maybe there is a chance in the module for the 26 MY?

Thank you EdmontonST for the heads up and thank you to the good people at Forscan!

The FENG is gone from my 10/25 build that I could not get removed previously. In this build of Forscan, there are a lot more ezconfig options in APIM. Hoping this trend continues for 2025+ for the other modules.

Since I know jack and poop about Forescan. I do like this idea. What is the easiest way to use it? Get the SW and use a laptop plus an adapter or an iPhone and BT adapter? I would buy it just to cut this off.

If you have a windows computer it’s easiest to do it that way.

I disabled the propulsion sound yesterday and it seems to have worked. Or I am wishing it to work.

I prefer a laptop and a wired connection over wireless.
