Default Eco mode turns off sound generator?

Does it?

i drove around on ECO mode this past weekend. During hard acceleration merging onto freeway, my car was felt quieter than normal. I hated the loud engine noise when car wasn't going anywhere fast.

Seems like ECO mode sound levels match the lack of thrust. I loved it.

is it all in my head?

I prefer the LS460 type of noise/acceleration. Quiet but goes fast/smoothly.

my VTEC days are over

Also, regardless of which mode you may be in, the engine performs exactly the same at WOT...
