The Dodge Charger EV — officially called the Dodge Charger Daytona — comes with a unique synthetic exhaust sound called the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. It's Dodge’s way of keeping muscle car vibes alive in the electric era.

Here’s the breakdown:

🔊 Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust
Purpose: Mimic the roar of a V8 but in an EV.

Volume: Up to 126 decibels — as loud as a Hellcat.

Technology: It uses air pulses pushed through a tuning chamber and amplifier, producing a growl that changes with throttle input.

Fake? Technically, yes — it's not coming from an engine, but it’s not just a speaker sound either. It’s engineered to physically resonate.

🔥 What It Sounds Like
Deep and aggressive, with a futuristic undertone.

Idle sounds like a low, mechanical rumble.

Acceleration has a rising, almost turbine-like howl mixed with muscle car growl.

You can think of it as “EV with attitude.” Dodge said it’s meant to make the EV feel alive and bring back emotion for gearheads.

What is the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust?
Name Origin: “Fratzonic” is a nod to Dodge’s iconic “Fratzog” logo used in the '60s and '70s — now revived for the EV lineup.

Mechanism: This isn't just a speaker playing engine sounds. Instead:

Air is pulsed through a resonating chamber.

It works kind of like a musical instrument, using air movement to create physical sound pressure.

There's an amplifier and tuning box that modulates the tone and pitch.

The sound is linked directly to the driver's inputs — throttle position, RPM simulation, gear changes, etc.

⚙️ How Does It Feel?
Dodge's goal was to create a visceral experience, even without a combustion engine:

Idle: You get a deep, droning tone — like a Hellcat with a mild cam.

Revving: Simulated RPM rise with “pops” and tone changes.

Driving: As you accelerate, the sound grows in intensity and volume, simulating gear shifts and throttle response.

Braking/regen: There's even a subtle pitch drop and whirring to mimic engine braking.

🎧 Sound Characteristics
Volume: Can reach up to 126 dB — as loud as a track-day Hellcat.

Tone: Combines V8 thunder with a slightly futuristic edge — deeper than a Tesla Plaid’s high-pitched whine.

Personality: Meant to sound aggressive, “angry,” and mechanical — not spaceship-like or “quiet.”

🔄 Customization?
Not officially announced yet, but Dodge hinted that:

Future updates may allow for sound tuning or modes.

Think: different exhaust profiles — mild to wild — just like old-school active exhaust setups.

Could potentially be disabled or quieted for stealth/commuter mode.

💬 Dodge’s Philosophy
Tim Kuniskis (Dodge CEO) said:

“We’re not trying to be quiet. We’re not trying to blend in. We’re trying to stand out and make a statement — the same way muscle cars always have.”

They want EV drivers to feel emotion when behind the wheel, not just speed.

🎥 Want to Hear It?
I can pull up or describe clips of it revving, driving, or doing launch control. It honestly surprises people with how aggressive it is for an EV.
