Still not had opp to record (will do tonight), but for reference here is a pic of my external speaker that the sound comes from...

I think we've seen these pics before, but you've included the product marking details that help tremendously!

Here is the manufacturer blurb that discussed it: https://www.eberspaecher.com/en/prod...novations.html

Seems primary purpose is actually to quiet the car through active sound cancellation. Hence the ActiveSilence name, since otherwise it would be ironic. So perhaps ES set to the cute "Sporty" (as in "Spice") mode rather turns off the ActiveSilence cancellation, rather than enhance it with a speaker?
