It's on during normal mode just a reduced amount. I think it's on 25% in normal mode and 100% in sport mode. One thing to remember about the soundaktor is it's as fake as Jordan's tits, and no one outside can hear it. You may as well play s cd of V8s than listen to it......mine has been disconnected lol

I don't see the issue to be honest. Yes it's fake. It's the only way to make a 2 litre 4 cylinder engine sound half decent and I think VW have accomplished it very well. It's not obvious at all that the sound is 'fake' and actually sounds nice in my opinion...just the same as the R only sounds good when the sound actuator is active. Who cares what people can hear outside the car? I'm sat inside it and want to enjoy the driving experience.

Couldn't agree more.  There's a lot of hated towards the sound actuator on here and on the R forums, but I love it and have it on full all the time  :smiley:  Plus if you have your window open and nail it from 1st gear, into 2nd, then 3rd the DSG 'farts' sound brilliant - couldn't care less that its fake!

I like it too, but would really like to be able to set individual mode profile with it to on/off or better still a volume.

I too like it. It would be nice to have a sliding scale we could access though.

I hate it, I have mine disconnected and have my intake make a much better noise instead, but I don't like fake boobs either though. How about you guys lol

 :grin: :grin:

I'm not a fan of fake boobs either.  But if I had a pair shoved in my face 'motor boat' style I would probably love it.  Sound actuator works under the same premise!  :grin:

So let me get this straight, if your car took off its top (like a cabriolet presumably) and jiggled its soundaktor in your face, then you wouldn't have a problem?
