The sound generator is designed so that, inside the well-soundproofed room, you hear the same sound that someone on the street would hear. If there were no sound generator, you would hear less noise inside than outside, so it would seem to you that there was very little noise.
Im not sure it does make the biggest difference but when its off it does remind me more of my i20n line :D rather than the usual i20N sound. How i dont know but ive drive both I20N line with manual gear as a rental and mine with DCT and there is difference both in behaviour - how it pull and how it sounds also, the manual one isnt really doing pops when downshifting like DCT can. They arent nowhere near strong or often as real N but quite nice still when they appear once in a while.
I think in i20n is biggest difference with esg and without esg . If you drive without esg you can nice listen clean engine sound / exhaust or sometime is listen turbo blowoff :)
@@melicher_filip ohh yes :D the N line i have in sport and gas to the metal has some seriously noticeable whistle haha. I found btw that with DCT if you drive mid speed 40-45kmh and you are in comfort/sport and you tap gas to the bottom and release very fast it can make really loud pop and bang haha
I disconnected mine a while back and thought it was better but when I put the fuse back in I enjoyed the extra sound, especially that sweet note just over 4,000rpm. So it's stayed back on.
For test you can remove fuse number 7 ( module 10A ) in interior fuses or you can pernament disconnect connector from sound generator ( you must remove wipers and plastic cover under wipers ) .
Does somebody know how engine sound settings (in N custom options) correlate with flaps and sound generator exaclty? My thinking is: Normal: flaps openwd from certain rpm, no generator Sport: flaps opened from certain rpm, generator from 3k rpm Sport+: flaps opened all time, generator same I might be wrong, I ask as I HATE generator sound - i dont mind the idea but the way the made it doesnt match vibe of this engine, instead of roaring its kinda all bass...
Hey guys, if I remove the fuse permanently, is that a problem? I don't need heated seats. Does the fuse connect to anything else apart from seats heating and the fake sound generator?
To be honest I'd much sooner just take wipers and plastic cover under wipers off and disconnect the ESG and two cable ties and plastic bags over the connections.
Remove fuse is not pernament solution . Is good for test if you like drive with generator or without . If you like drive without i think good solution is remove wipers , remove plastic cover under wipers and behined this is sound generator and you can disconnect connector or fully remove generator .
@melicher_filip and sorry to bother you again but there is a fus for the exhaust valve too That if you remove it the valve stays open all the time Do you have a permanent solution for this "mod" too ? I would love to know
I think I'm going to install a switch under the bonnet to more easily disconnect it - I don't like the idea of removing the fuse without 100% knowing whats connected to it.
@@ljp1942yeah here Australia has around over 15 of i20N has fuel pump issue. Mine 2022 i20N with 22,200km and haven’t got issue yet. Hyundai need recall for fuel pump for all i20N.
Hello. Does the sound change both inside and outside the car? I'm tempted to turn it off too because inside the sound is ugly and unnatural above 4000 rpm. Thank you! @@melicher_filip
because it is not only a sound generator, but also a vibrator that transmits vibrations to the interior. A car like the i20N, which only has a hard plastic interior, will 100% make unpleasant noises
@@LexartmI have vibration sometimes caused by passenger window and from middle windscreen sensor that vibrates. The sound is not replicable… it happens random and this is so shitty.
@@AyumazHD Must be car specific. I had a Civic Type R FK8 before and the passanger door would rattle constantly as well. I've had minimal rattles at the start with the i20 but they went away.
The car still sounds great without the sound generator. Huge win right there.
Sounds much better without sound generator! Greetz from Switzerland

@@mitkoprakov1296 In what country do they sell an automatic i20n? That doesn't exist
@@mingu33 i never said they do? i said i drive an N-LINE with DCT :)its additional extra for around 3000eur or somewhere around.

Hey man, i20 n line owner here pls do explain what exactly did you do and what's sound generator module in i20.
For test you can remove fuse number 7 ( module 10A ) in interior fuses or you can pernament disconnect connector from sound generator ( you must remove wipers and plastic cover under wipers ) .
Does somebody know how engine sound settings (in N custom options) correlate with flaps and sound generator exaclty? My thinking is:

Sport+: flaps opened all time, generator same
I might be wrong, I ask as I HATE generator sound - i dont mind the idea but the way the made it doesnt match vibe of this engine, instead of roaring its kinda all bass...
is this full stock sound, i hear a little flutter?
Full stock 🙂
Oh nice, I’m picking mine up on Friday hopefully 🙂
i love that generator sound

I have removed the fuse and observed no issues whatsover. Plan to unplug the ESG anyway. ;)
@@siegfriedo Thing is, i just tried, the screws on the left/right, u have no access to them below, hard to take it off, any ideas?
@@ceryno3459 Yeah, I looked into it more in detail as well and it seems to be really a hassle to get to it. Will probably just keep the fuse removed.
@@siegfriedo thing is, I have heated seats.. if I remove the fuse I lose heated seats which is a problem to be honest
Hi finally someone fixed this "problem" but just removing the fus is a permanent solution or do you have a long term idea for it ? Thx

If you like drive without i think good solution is remove wipers , remove plastic cover under wipers and behined this is sound generator and you can disconnect connector or fully remove generator .
@melicher_filip oh yes that sound more "professional" 🤣 thx u
@melicher_filip and sorry to bother you again but there is a fus for the exhaust valve too
That if you remove it the valve stays open all the time
Do you have a permanent solution for this "mod" too ? I would love to know
@@shushu8811 Hi . I dont try this . For me is more comfortable when i have option drive with close valve or fully open .
@melicher_filip yeah I can see why
Maybe people will find how to do it later
Thx anyway

Good solution 👍🏻👍🏻 . Removing fuse is only for test “ if you like it with sound generator or without “ 🙂

Have you had a problem with your fuel pump on your 120n ?
Hi . After 10 000km without any problems 🙂
@melicher_filip Thanks I have one as well have heard the pump has been an issue for some owners.
@@ljp1942yeah here Australia has around over 15 of i20N has fuel pump issue. Mine 2022 i20N with 22,200km and haven’t got issue yet. Hyundai need recall for fuel pump for all i20N.
@nlikos180 So 15 i20ns in Australia are effected ?
@@ljp1942 over 15 or more. I saw on Facebook. They did replaced to new fuel pump with under the warranty. Hyundai need recall for fuel pump for i20N.
How did you do it?
For test you can disconnect fuse or pernament disconnect connector from sound generator ( hidden under the wipers )
Hello. Does the sound change both inside and outside the car? I'm tempted to turn it off too because inside the sound is ugly and unnatural above 4000 rpm. Thank you! @@melicher_filip
@@jari-matti83 Hi only inside sound .
I really like it disconnected, more natural and it sure didn't need it, it's got a fab sound anyway 😊
I’ve removed mine as well. Above 4000rpm it was really buzzing and vibrating the windscreen. No it’s off it’s much more pleasant and natural to drive.
Definitely better without! ☝🏼
I would be grateful if the sound generator could be deactivated in the software.
No big difference
There is a huge difference at 4000+ RPM. But he barely reved that high in ON example.
I literally hear no difference. Besides, why wouldn't you want crazy racing sounds inside your car (even though they're fake)
because it is not only a sound generator, but also a vibrator that transmits vibrations to the interior. A car like the i20N, which only has a hard plastic interior, will 100% make unpleasant noises
