Not sure if its mode related. In my wife's GTi, she has three preset modes and one customized mode. Each preset had its own sound with Eco being the least heard and Sport being loud and not exhaust like. In Custom mode you can select around eight different options of which one was the soundaktor. So initially I only drove in Custom mode and set the sound to Eco. However, the thought of it just didn't sit well with me so I went in to disconnect it and then saw how easy it was to remove it.

The sound of the bare GTi exhaust is nothing to write home about but at least I know its real and it is what it is. The soundaktor really didn't sound like an exhaust note and of course the noise came from the front of the car...what the?
