I believe there has been a blog about this subject before. There was however no clear conclusion.

The Porsche Carrera 991's have a sound supposing system to help carry engine and exhaust noise into the cabin area. I know it exists. My question is; has anyone figured out how to disconnect and block the system? If so, please post some details on "how to". Thank you!

I blocked my hole with some foam and silicone. The sound is bloody annoying, who wants an induction whine???? You want to hear the exhaust not some artificial whining

SOFAKING: Thank you for the link. It contained great visual aids on how to address the issue from the engine compartment.

jonamv8: The sound of the exhaust is excellent. The whiny sound from the sound symposer is annoying. I'm not trying to turn the car into a gran tourer, the opposite actually. I've installed the carbon fiber cold air intake from Fabspeed, H&R wheel spacers (7mm front, 15mm rear) and Techart sport springs. All of which I like.

Scott Parker: I think your method of dealing with the portal is excellent. I'm going to use your system to eliminate sound from the interior side.

I thinnk mine sounds great and that's without PSE? What am I missing here???

lamazziott, did you fit locking wheel nuts to your wheels after you fitted the spacers? If so what type/make?
