I like having the ability of turning the sound on and off. The sound is cool, my suggestions would be a hard switch to turn it on and off, and to be able to set the sound level independent from drive modes. If I could pick an additional sound it would be the hum of like a spaceship from old sci-fi movies from the past. All the other suggestions are good too.

The sound should be synced with the paddles so increasing regen sounds like a downshift and converse for the + paddle.

I've been approached by about 10 people asking about the Frat this past week and they all say they like it. I even had a Chevy dealership service manager ask me to show him what's under the hood. Unfortunately, the frunk was empty. o_O

There should be one or two in there that could work.


Having to listen to this across galaxies would explain why greyliens have bulging eyes and no hair.

Tie Fighter would be awesome.
I, for one, welcome Disney as the new site owner after the mere mention of their copyrighted properties and look forward to the upcoming park price increases.

We'll need the paddles to function as cannons and proton torpedoes, amiright?


 
I need to 2nd this! I ended up loving the stock auto and sport sound of Fratzonic while driving and decelerating a lot more than I thought would. But the startup sound volume is really over the top to me in many situations i think there might be a loose panel or something in the back of my RT because I can hear some panel wobble or other kind of feedback responses when the bass peaks makes the effect feel really cheap for a rather expensive vehicle. just an option to lower its volume by 20% would be great.

Ideally, I think giving users total control over what sounds they want for startup / shutdown and driving modes would give the customer base the level of customization that might feel to be missing from tinkering with ICE vehicles.


@DodgeCares <- add this feature and I promise you would sell a ton more of these for the meme effect alone.
 
this right here 👆

whole system should have a physical on/off switch. Startup needs options.

i love the system and mess with it constantly. Dunno what speaker is in there but it is weak and should tie to the 10” sub where possible.

So close to awesome.

Weak? It's already potentially illegally loud, it goes up to 126db (no distance for measurement given), NTSB regulation limit to 95db max at 50 feet away.

The obnoxiously loud startup sound is the reason I almost always have it off, because I don't want to be that terrible neighbor waking up or otherwise disturbing people with an obnoxiously loud car.
 
It IS loud, but not in the ‘authentic umph’ sorta way. It sounds weak like an under-powered sound system with what was supposed to be 4 speakers but somehow got value engineered down to w ‘good enough’ 6x9 paper cones.

The idle is pretty nice, something harmonic going on there, but the start up and the engine rev at idle both sound hollow and plastic. The boom in the start is like a paper bag boom, the rev sound thinks it’s a Ninja 750 with a Kerker pipe, ratty and asthmatic. Someone described it as a drunk lion, and that’s fair.

My car has roughly 22 speakers if all the marketing hype is to be believed, but at startup it just sounds like an old boombox. Volume control in all instances would be a huge improvement.

Needs more knobs!!

I haven't noticed that at all on my Charger, if anything I would say it has a bit more umph than both my 2005 Dodge Magnum RT with the 5.7 Hemi, and 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T with the 5.9 Magnum V8 that I've owned in the past.

Personally I love the way it sounds, I just wish the startup sound wasn't so obnoxiously loud.

I think you used to be able to remote start your car and the start up noise wouldn't happen, which I really liked.

@DodgeCares are there plans to add silent start up in the future? I like the exhaust noises but I'm not a fan of the super loud startup noise.
