"I haven't driven a car that does this, but my guess is that it's noticeably simulated."
According to the article, BMW does this, and I can say from first-hand experience in a newer model that it's not noticeably simulated.

The 2015 Mustang with the turbo 4 cylinder has a similar system but the functionality can't be deactivated or tweaked in any way. Can you imagine the frustration of listening to the acoustic meddling through a blown speaker that you can't disable? I had a Lincoln Mark VIII where the stock amplifier fried itself when I was on the highway. It blasted static with wildly varying pitch at full volume for 5 minutes before I could safely pull over and pull the fuse. It was literally maddening.
