Active sound after remote software upgrade

valgaldr · 09-30-2021, 01:16 PM

Hi all,

I did a remote software upgrade yesterday (version 07 / 2021.50). Afterwards I noticed a significant change in the active sound in the interior. A very artificial noise can now be detected when upshifting. I don't even know how to describe it. The burbling is now very much enhanced by the subwoofer. I only created this account because of the topic, as I've been very disturbed about these additional effects since the upgrade.

I haven't found anything about it yet here or anywhere else. Have other users had similar experiences after this upgrade?

Best regards,

valgaldr

Does it happen right around 6K RPM?

Not only, I would say every upshift.

interesting... sounds like they programmed in the "fart" sound as heard in videos of some AWD cars recently.. havent gotten this 07/2021.50 software update yet, will keep an eye out for it

currently, the car only makes a shifting "fart" sound on upshift in full throttle from 1st to 2nd, and to some extent 2nd to 3rd as well.

Exactly this. What you don't hear in the video, however, is the burbling when you take your foot off the gas. It was there before, but it is much deeper and more bass-heavy since the update. I find that inappropriate.

Farts on down shifts awd in most rpms in sport+

Is the new software available on the base G82 yet?
I was checking and mine doesn’t seem to come up

I installed the PSI mid pipe earlier this month and I did the update. I thought I was tripping but the exhaust got way less raspy. There's more of a rumbling noise from the active sound on high revving up shifts and downshifts. I'm one of those few people who liked the pops and burbles. Coming from an F80 comp lol. Software version showing 07/2021.55

JTO24 · 10-28-2021, 08:45 AM

I have the latest software and the VSC valve controller so I can keep the valves open... when I open the valves and am in comfort, the exhaust is about as loud as in sport+, when in sport+, valves open and exhaust button "on", I hear a lot of deep burbles as OP describes. When I turn the exhaust button "off" the volume is still the same but the burbles are reduced greatly/gone entirely... so I wonder if the burbles I hear inside are mostly coming from the speakers and not genuinely from the exhaust. I'll need to have someone drive my car while I listen outside to know for sure.

Did your startup sound change? Someone said there is a change to the startup throttle with the SW update.

Sounds like the update made your car quieter...is that right?

Yes the startup did change a little. It's more of a roar then it goes back to idle. Yes it did quiet down a little and got less raspy. I hit the same tunnel every night and I noticed the difference right away. It also used to pop when I get on it from 2nd to 3rd gear but now nothing. Cold start is still loud tho. Lol

Ok. It's not like the start up roar from an X5M but it's definitely different. I'll see if I can get it today after work.

How do I download the update?

It’ll show up in the MyBMW app when it’s ready, then you DL it to the car from there.

All this fake noise…..all they are doing is getting is ready for the switch to all electric vehicles….giving us fake engine/exhaust sounds to try and lessen the blow. Gross. Makes me want to run out and buy a V8 immediately.
