Posted this in FAQ's by mistake (mods feel free to delete old thread):

A work colleague recently took delivery of a manual Cupra 300 which he has kindly let me drive. One thing i noticed straight away was the difference in cabin sound from the Soundaktor compared to my DSG 300 (November 2017 build). The sound does not change when selecting through the driving profiles at idle unlike mine.

Is there a genuine difference between the DSG and manual Soundaktor profiles or have SEAT toned it down on the 2018 builds? (colleagues was week 4).

Definitely notice a difference in sound when changing to Sport/Cupra mode in the manual version (Dec 17 build)

I’ve got a manual 300 from an October build and feel the soundaktor is a bit ott. Curious to hear a later build now.

Can anyone with a Jan 18> build car confirm this? If so, I will make a call to the dealer to enquire about a software update.

mine is being built next week

but I found it here:
