I'm not sure if its a placebo effect but i'm sure even mine gets louder switching it into Sport+. I honestly dont think it does though, all that happens is the throttle response alters.

It could be that you're hearing more induction noise, which would account for the difference. The airbox is ducted for this - but not sure if it's an active system?

From the 2016 owner's manual -

Track – Provides a performance driving
experience. The engine responds
directly to your inputs and takes on a
more powerful tone.

Not sure, I've only got as far as 'Sport+' at the moment! ...... seems plenty fast enough for the road in 'Normal' to be honest :), as I've said before my only (very slight) complaint is that the throttle just lacks a bit of precision. Got a PedalMax and adjustment switch coming which may help with that though. However, I certainly hope it gets louder in 'Race' ..... crank it up! :D
