Engine sound management
Quick question.
I have my sound management set to Sport.
If I select Track on the MRC, will the sound level increase to track volume or stay in sport?
If not, might as well leave it on Auto and leave the MRC in Sport Mode

Engine sound management setting will override drive mode selector setting. So you can put it in stealth sound and sport drive mode if you want to.

Second, the volume doesn't change but rather when and how long the NPP valves open is subtly different between Sport and Track (I'm talking engine sound management, not MSRC, setting).
Personally, I unpaired them so engine sound stays in Track, unless I'm trying to get the Vette out of the garage without waking my whole family. I switch between Tour and Sport (MSRC) depending on the road condition, my mood, etc.
YMMV, enjoy!

Yes but I think what he's asking is if the Sound Management and MRC settings are not paired and are in conflict for when the NPP opens up....which one prevails.
Sounds like it's the Sound Management setting. I'm curious too.

Must be different on a 2014, because all I can do when I select "Engine Sound Management" is turn it off or on. When its off its loud all the time, and when its on it changes with the mode selector on the console. I DO have the NPP exhaust by the way. I assume this is normal?

My 2016 Z06 has auto/tour/sport/track (4 choices total) for engine sound management. Starting a Z06 in track mode definitely gets your attention
