This is true...I took a quick video yesterday while driving and when I playback on the phone, you can barely hear it...similar to the video above, but IRL it is annoying as shit.

I did notice that with the MPE flaps closed and in Sport+ seems to be the best, meaning least amount of drone. Traction mode with flaps open is just stupid. I can barely hear the music (on half volume)!!

Given I am almost at the halfway point of the break-in, I have started to increase the RPM over 3500 and upward to 4500 before shifting and it seems to help as I don't stay in the "Drone Zone" as long. When cruising, I simply move to 1 gear higher than I normally would. The problem is still the highway...in 6th gear at 120KM/H (which is basically where I drive if there is no traffic), it puts the car right on 3000rpm, which is awful. It will be interesting to see if someone tries the resonator and what type of results that brings (if any).
