Fake Engine Noise Cupra

I un plugged my soundaktor today, I've had a few vibrations for a while and since learning about this device being basically a vibrator, I thought i'd try n see if removing it would cure my problems.
It did! All vibrations are completely gone now, the car is much quiter at a cruise and feels a lot more refined.
Even with a milltek and p flo fitted the car is now very quiet apart from a bit of road noise.
Its very strange putting my foot down with windows up, it sounds like a different car. I actually prefer it to be honest. If I want a lot of noise I just open the windows and let it in! Having a rattle and vibration free interior is amazing as it was getting very annoying.
I recommend trying the car with this unplugged as I think its unbelievable how much noise this thing makes!

Hi guys i have a late 2010 cupra R and have stumbled across this. Where is the bugger situated ? . Plus which speaker or where does it play the sound into. Drivers glovebox area by chance ?
Have you read the pages of posts above mate? 
It's not really a speaker. It's a mechanical spinning "thingy" that sits kind of under your wipers.

Its fitted to the bulkhead behind glove box. To access it you need to remove the trim by the wipers. There is a thread somewhere on here about how to do it. If you have really small fingers you may get them in to unplug it, otherwise its a bit of a pig to do but worth it in the end. Whoever has our old speed blue R its disconnected - highly unlikely to have been refitted before it was sold on
