Thanks for clarifying up this question. Now I can tell my M4 buddy to shut up.

By the way, it's just ONE speaker behind the dash, independent of the audio system. It's the #1 on the pic below. Sorry to disappoint you buddy. Oh, and in case you didn't know, there's another 'gimmicky' (but not fake) noise made by the intake above 3,800 rpm or so, but this one is made in any mode. The fake sport+ noise is made all the time, and on top of the intake one. Hope this clarify things.

You are actually both inaccurate to a degree. It is natural intake and exhaust sounds fed through an actuator at a 50:50 ratio. It's the RC F's sound amped.

Bottom Line: It's a speaker taking inputs from an equalizer...

Unplug it and you'll hear only the cars natural sound in Sport S+

.. just like it sounds in Sport S, Normal and Eco

We all know it's not prerecorded..

It's actually well documented in the ongoing thread we created just for ASC
