Does it cancel the noise of your wife telling you to slow down?

When you turn 50 your body naturally starts to develop ANC for not just that, but for kids, politics, etc... If you're 50 and aren't getting there yet... you need to grow up.

That's exactly what she says!

You are So mean 😱

It says in the ANC function description (on other models, including regular Mustang) that it uses internal microphones to determine harsh noises that penetrate the cabin, to introduce opposing sound-waves into the cabin to cancel out the noise.

so, i guess if you can hack it, you can tune it to the frequency of your wife’s yelling. 😬 (Or, you can just slow down a bit when she is in the car...)

On a serious note, apparently the ANC is also the same system that introduces the regular Mustang interior engine noise enhancement. So there is a good chance it is a similar setup in the MMe EV motor sound, except you have control via the touchscreen.

Update: Emma Bergg has confirmed that the MMe does not have ANC. She stated “..current view is it’s not required...”.

So the question is: Is NVH control in the MMe that good as to not need ANC?

Having a lack of road noise in the car is a selling point for me. After finally getting rid of engine noise, the only thing impeding my stereo listening experience is road noise. I typically get after-market stereos in my vehicles, but sometimes the stock audio is good enough. Road noise report from my recent test drives, all measured with decibel meter on the same phone:
Units are db
82 Chevy Bolt
72 Audi E-Tron Technik
72 Hyundai Kona Electric
75 Tesla Model Y

My current car, a hybrid, gives a reading of 79 db

Will you be running Summer tires? Once the engine noise is gone, the biggest source of noise will be the tires. I haven't seen too much detail on the stock factory tires but I assume the AWD versions are going to come with some type of all season tires Ford's crack team of accountants selected. I would think that relegating the stock tires to Winter duty and getting Summer tires would have the biggest impact on the road noise.

I always have music playing when I drive, so I'm looking forward to using quiet mode.

I'm thinking you would enjoy the B&O even better with all artificial sound turned off?

Yes, good point. Winter tires also have a negative effect on charging efficiency /fuel consumption. Unfortunately a must-have in Canada for a number of months. They are even legislated for vehicles in several provinces from October through March.

At work we have full anechoic acoustic chamber. Once all the noise is gone, it gets really, really creepy as one can hear their detailed breathing and digesting noises. Similarly, on BEVs, as the noise floor drops, other noises (road, wind, creaks, rattles...) become more prominent. NVH engineering is some ways is more difficult for a car that is inherently quiet.

That chamber sounds cool. I would love to experience it.
