This is an analyzer for sound, vibration and magnetic field. Overall we have the following measuring functions. As the source code of this is widely published as an open source software on GitHub, you can make custom version of this. And also we welcome sponsers of Github Sponsers or patrons on...

Radio quality isn't good either. Best quality seems to be streaming from your phone or playing pre-downloaded "HiFi" Tidal tracks (not streaming) using the new Tidal app.

It would not be hard to put some pink noise on a USB stick and perform the same tests, only difference is that upper frequencies would probably be a but more level with the spectrum. in other words, results would probably improve.
But yes, who knows what sampling rate youtube is sending out to the cars.
I don't know if we are listening to the same sound system or not but, using the built in streaming option from Slacker (or whatever it is called now) my Plaid has the best OEM car system out of any I have ever experienced.
Agreed.
Try playing Bohemian Rhapsody loud
Set balance slightly to the back seat.
Very impressive. Blew me away.

I agree, after listening to a lot of different music parts, I think the system is by far the best I have listed too also. Move the center back, right behind driver/passenger seat and turn immersive sound to high.
Have the folks saying it’s the best system they’ve heard spent time with the premium-level stereo in the 3 or Y? The S sounds great IMO, just not as good as the 3/Y, and way too front biased
This. Mine seems a lot better with the latest firmware, but I still think the Y sounds noticeably better.
Just did a pink noise test in my 2022 MS LR. Latest Holiday Update installed. I used the Spectroid app, from Google Play store. Here is the screenshot.
The response is exemplary. I suspect some people prefer a non-flat response. They want more bass or treble. That's good, but it may not be hi-fi.

Previous screen was with bass set +1 in the equalizer. This one is with all bands flat.

Accuracy is the holy grail of Hi-Fi. A flat frequency response is essential to accuracy. It means the playback system is not adding errors.

That graph is measuring pink noise, which is essentially all the different audible frequencies playing at random generating what sounds like static.
The goal is to have all frequency levels equal (the flattest graph possible). A listening device is used to graph the sound into the graphs you see above.
The flatter the graph the more pure the sound representation will be from the source.
The refresh cars do an incredible job at this.
Most complaints I've heard is that the stage is too far forward, so people are sending the balance to the back.
I often listen to Stereo vintage HiFi, and maybe that's why I feel like the stage is perfect. I like a stereo sound more than an immersive sound. (that's just personal preference)
The data in the graphs show that the system itself does a pretty amazing job, especially considering this is without any modifications.

I suspect that the system sounds good at louder volume settings but appears to be lacPink Noise sound file here:
