No kidding! I’m doing my best to keep him away from my PoS Plaid and new R1T!
As far as he knows, you sold the Rivian last week.

Not sure if it's different in the MX but it's surprisingly somewhat effective in my new 2023 MX.

After my one month trial of "FSD" and two near death experiences, not looking forward to any changes, esp not for something like ANC which won't stop my rear seats and hatch from creaking.
I know it's weird, but just saying... I didn't do anything to the car (no soundproofing or such) and the cabin is very quiet. I realize it every time I jump into my wife's Model 3. I also recently got a Rivian R1S which I thought was pretty quiet and didn't drive the S for a week as it was in the shop, and then once I drove the S - complete silence. Super cool! I think it's the ANC.

You... think it is? Did you turn off the noise reduction and then turn it back on to test? The S is much quieter than the 3/Y...

I have toggled it back and forth. It definitely works as a reduction but does not eliminate. It works.
Yeah it’s just a few dB. But Worth having on though.
I put in a sunshade (above and in rear) and swear that helps. And put MaxPider mats on top of factory mats for more dampening. Keeping trunk covered helps too. All ads up.

Actually no... let me try that the next time I drive the S and report back.

Remember - one valid test is worth a thousand opinions...

I have "tested" multiple times on different roads. Also, tested with a passenger who was unable to see when I toggled. The passenger could hear the difference every time.
There is a low frequency droning noise when off on most roads - that goes away when on.
On a few roads, there was no droning noise when off and it showed no improvement when on. This is very infrequent.
I had one of the first refreshes and the ANC was garbage back then. I have seen marked improvements over the last two years and recently even more improvements with updates.

Great. Let us know when it filters out the rear seat rattles...

Just tested it again on 2023.7.20 last night and this afternoon. While historically it would introduce horrific road noise by turning it on, when I turned it on yesterday and today I can happily report it did absolutely nothing detectable. Had the wifey with me (she's exceptionally musically gifted), and she too said she could hear no difference.
Well done, Tesla! We've gone from being an absolute joke to being just a joke. I mean sure, it's not the latest software update. Us FSD'ers paid a fortune for the junk that is FSD, and also for the benefit of being months behind the non-FSD'ers in terms of features and updates. So hey, maybe ARNR works better on a later update. Guess I'll find out, someday...
