I wonder how much they spend in sound proofing in that room. They could have saved a lot of money in research if they would have inserted in LS1 engine sounds. ---

I can see it now, after 20k miles of driving the exterior speaker will need to be replaced. Not covered under warranty because its a “wear item” 650$ later for audi’s jesus kissed space ship sounding speaker, and 300$ + in labor just because its an audi. but wait, theres more! Because its audi, labor will actually be close to 3000$ because the speaker will be located in front of the firewall, behind the motor and battery pack. the entire battery pack and electric motors will need to be removed from the car to repair it. ---
