That is where this active sound technology could potentially lead, playing different types of engine sounds in your car. There have been similar suggestions for playing engine sounds like this in hybrid and electric cars because they are too quiet. The fact that the real sound is being amplified over the stereo system does make it artificial, because you would otherwise not hear it in the cabin with the windows up if the active sound were disabled. Perhaps "artificial" is the wrong word to use. "Over compensating" may be a better term of what the active sound is doing.
