being one in a long streak of failures, I can only reason that the
build quality of the Porsche Taycan is poor. It's repeated failures of
all sorts of systems make it the car with the worst reliability that
drove or know of.

[[!meta title="Nico's Porsche Taycan Experience - Broken Sport Sound"]]
## Introduction
This article is part of the series of
[Nico's Porsche Taycan Experience](/blog/nicos-porsche-taycan-experience/).
## Background - the Porsche Sport Sound
Now this is a funny experience. Maybe because it is very ridiculous,
or because it is minor or because it is so absurd that Dali could not
have painted it better.
Now, before going into what is broken, let's first look into, what
this is supposed to be.
The Taycan has something called a Porsche Sport Sound which is a
glorified name for making sound in the inside and outside when
accelerating. It is an optional feature of the car and can be turned
on and off.
Most EVs (probably with the exception of Tesla) in Europe
have some warning sound when rolling at lower speeds
so that people notice them.
The Taycan also has that, but when enabling the sport sound, the
exterior sound is changed and interior sound is activated.
This way you get a bit of acoustic feedback when accelerating.
## Broken Porsche Sport Sound
So how can this break? Here is how it manifests itself:
* When you accelerate, the sounds gets louder, more intense (that is
correct)
* However in my case, when you accelerate a bit stronger, there is a
strong clangour in the sound. Like a broken speaker...
The broken sports sound has been reported to the
The [Porsche Center
OZS](https://dealer.porsche.com/ch/obererzuerichsee/de-CH)
on **2024-06-03** and has not been solved as of **2025-05-24**.
While this is a sound problem and sound problems can be excluded by
the warranty, the main function of the feature is to produce sound, so
I guess that this has actually to be covered under warranty.
The last update I received was in June 2025 that the Porsche Center
OZS cannot reproduce the issue anymore.

seems more to be a regular defect. And to be fair, probably the
most severe one you can fear when having an EV.
There are however also less severe things that can break on the
Taycan, such as the [funny sport sound feature](/blog/nicos-porsche-taycan-experience-part-9-broken-sport-sound).
More to come soon...
