My car has faked sound too, but it's not through the regular speakers. Audi installed a device called a Soundaktor.

It's basically a speaker (technically a transducer) that is attached to the firewall and use the windshield as the main resonator instead of a normal paper cone like a traditional speaker. Fake engine/exhaust noise is piped through it to match what the engine is doing to create the illusion of a more sporty engine/exhaust combo
