'Engine Sound' option -- is it just soundaktor?

Hello folks,

The individual driving mode allows setting of different 'Engine Sound' modes from Eco-Sport

I actually quite like the sport Sound however the dashboard vibration from the soundaktor is very annoying.

I've set it to Comfort, which eliminates the vibration/rattle but the engine sound is much less noticeable.

I just wondered does anyone know if these settings affect anything else or is it just the soundaktor - (I dont think there is anything active in the exhaust on these cars)

I was considering getting obd11 and deactivating the soundaktor and then putting the Engine noise setting back into 'Sport' but if the only thing this setting is changing is the soundaktor I may as well just leave it in comfort.

Cheers
