I’m pretty sure it still has some type of Soundaktor still.
I’ve not fiddled with mine for nearly two years but vaguely remember there being an engine sound setting in individual called Pure which cuts any synthetic noise.
Mine is run in that setting with the parcel shelf removed so I can fully hear the exhaust (which gets quite fruity under load).
The mk7 Soundaktor always sounded like the engine had a misfire to me, I hated it.
