Dubbed the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, this system replaces the traditional exhaust note with a facsimile. Without revealing details—again—Dodge says it’s not just a speaker churning out simulated combustion noise. It’s likely some sort of pump that pushes air through a device to generate sound. In a world of nearly silent EVs, Dodge promises this one will be loud: 126 dB—that’s the same peak noise rating as your current Charger SRT Hellcat.
It won't be long until they record the sound of old cool engines and allow us a menu selection.
I've joked about this before. It's coming...

but who doesn't want to drive a Ferrari so sure put an older one in with mechanical Webers wailing flat out.
and then your child comes along and snorts how lame you are and you really need the Arch Avenger space warrior blast off sound.
while you would prefer a quiet
Engage...with a defeat on the Fratzonic.
