Really excited to hear the hummer come alive with the WTF mode. I can only imagine what sort of insane futuristic growl or purr will sound like!!!Drive has an article regarding using what sounds very much like noise cancellation in the Hummer. Check it out:
The Science of Silence Inside the Electric GMC Hummer
To save weight, Bose is working with GM to employ active noise management instead of traditional, physical cabin insulation in places.
They haven’t showed the sound effects from WTF right ?
I thought at one point there was a short video about it, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Could have been stuck in a longer video I watched also. I know it wasn't a full launce sequence but at least gave some more clarity
From what I remember on the video I can't find it was more of a subwoofer rumble. Something to the effect of it lowering down, seeing the graphics change and the subwoofer rumbling like a lift off more so. I don't remember them talking about adding sound effects.
When preparing to launch in WTF mode, you not only get rumbling, but the seats also start shaking. haha!
Of course the seats shake also. Anything to make it more space/Lunar/moon like. Why wouldn't it be just like a rocket ship taking off. Lol.
Haha! Imaging all the engineer time that went into this feature? @BigJonEV does the passenger seat shake too?
Yes, Chips Chips everywhere. That would be my guess, front seats only with the shakers.
I would guess only the driver seat vibrates as it’s already used to warn of you drifting into other lanes and fhe like. Kind of a warning to the driver. Now it’s also used for “amusement” purposes!
So your passenger does not get the shaker seat?
I agree completely. It needs to be both front seats for it to really be effective. Although I can hear my wife now if I put it in WTF mode and she feels it asking if I really have to launch from every stoplight. haha. Be a dead giveaway we are getting ready to take off.
My simple reply to my wife would be…”yes”
If you are worried about timing keep your first reservation in addition to making the 3X reservation?
Yeah I’m not out anything by reserving the 3x since the $100 would be refundable. My buddy at the dealership knows I’d only end up taking one and understands what my thought process is.
Don’t have one in my Malibu, so unfortunately was just assuming the driver seat was the only one that shook. But I guess I should say you know the old saying about assuming…😂
