Right but is the noise being heard inside the car "real" noise that is being played on the speakers, or completely fake, made up sounds that don't exist outside the cabin?

I thought with BMW the noise is real. i.e. Outside of the car you get the exact same sounds, but you just can't hear it inside the cabin due to sound deadening so the active sound basically plays those noises via the speakers.

I know on my G80 M3, in the cabin with active noise off I cannot hear anything at all. But when my friend videos me driving from outside, the exhaust is making all sorts of burbles and pops. Those same noises I hear inside when active sound is turned on.
