All my life I've owned muscle cars, and made the switch to my M3 AWD a few months ago. Everything is perfect, however I'm missing the exhaust sounds of my old cars. Is there an app/program I can open that will play exhaust sounds as I accelerate?? There are some on the App Store but they are only compatible with the mechanics of a regular gas car. Free or paid is fine with me thank you!!

There are multiple kits available that use speed and acceleration to make noise, but they are expensive. Here are a few:

What you want is not much different than when (for example) BMW changed their cars to add fake exhaust sounds to many of their models. That sound was more piped into the car cabin so the occupant could hear it, vs trying to pump it outside the car, but pretty much same thing (fake sounds).

Before the NHTSA recall, the Boombox feature can play a sound on loop even when the car is driving, but it does not sound right because it is the same sound looping (not tied to actual car acceleration). After the recall, Boombox only works when parked, so even that is no longer an option.

Internal for sure! I just want the sound for me.. would add a little more fun to those rapid accelerations!

There are kits and mods but you should embrace the opportunity to recapture your youth and make the sounds with your mouth like in your matchbox days!
A lot easier than putting baseball/playing cards in the spokes but you might want to keep some towels handy to wipe off the steering wheel.

The best part of an EV is to smoke an ICE car in ninja/stealth mode. I can't thing of anything better. With respect, is this your first EV?

The funny thing is that people absolutely hate it when manufacturers pump fake noise into ICE cars. The new Honda Civic Type R is an example. Sounds horrible and fake in R+ mode. BMW does symphonic noises in their EV's and Ford does some weird noise with the Mach E but at the end of they day it's all artificial. You have moved into the future. Embrace it, don't look back.

People have become accustomed to loud sounds equaling power.
I was told a story once, probably apocryphal, but it was by a b-school professor. Apparently Hoover, the vacuum maker was having issues with sales, due to its vacuum cleaners being noisier than the competition, and the competition were selling their vacuums on how quiet they were.
Then one of their marketing folks came up with the idea to market their vacuums as having the Hoover "sound of power"! Turning what was a negative attribute into a positive and sales took off.
So, we've been conditioned into thinking loud is powerful, even though we know excess sound energy is also wasted energy.

I spent an afternoon in a pre-release version of a Mach-E back in February of '21. That fake exhaust noise was ridiculous. It did not sound like any exhaust I heard.
Now my wife's SLK 350 (R172) exhaust sound with the top down is awesome. I think Mercedes fine tuned it so.

I've thought for some time that somebody who developed a really good app, that used the phone speed data and through bluetooth played the sound of your choice through the speakers would make a killing.
For .99 unlock another genre of cars- 90s Formula 1, 60s Muscle, etc. Some people would love it.
I love my M3P, but I do miss the sound from my Boss 302 Laguna Seca!
