Introduction

This article is part of the series of Nico's Porsche Taycan Experience.

Background - the Porsche Sport Sound

Now this is a funny experience. Maybe because it is very ridiculous, or because it is minor or because it is so absurd that Dali could not have painted it better.

Now, before going into what is broken, let's first look into, what this is supposed to be.

The Taycan has something called a Porsche Sport Sound which is a glorified name for making sound in the inside and outside when accelerating. It is an optional feature of the car and can be turned on and off.

Most EVs (probably with the exception of Tesla) in Europe have some warning sound when rolling at lower speeds so that people notice them.

The Taycan also has that, but when enabling the sport sound, the exterior sound is changed and interior sound is activated.

This way you get a bit of acoustic feedback when accelerating.

Broken Porsche Sport Sound

So how can this break? Here is how it manifests itself:

• When you accelerate, the sounds gets louder, more intense (that is correct)
• However in my case, when you accelerate a bit stronger, there is a strong clangour in the sound. Like a broken speaker...

The broken sports sound has been reported to the The Porsche Center OZS on 2024-06-03 and has not been solved as of 2025-05-24.

While this is a sound problem and sound problems can be excluded by the warranty, the main function of the feature is to produce sound, so I guess that this has actually to be covered under warranty.

The last update I received was in June 2025 that the Porsche Center OZS cannot reproduce the issue anymore.
