The video discusses the development of the unique sound of the Camaro, led by Jade Astana. The team balances the needs of officials concerned with noise levels and customers who desire a distinctive Camaro sound. They use a car for exhaust tuning and measure sound in a listening lab. Adjustments are made to the exhaust and induction system to enhance airflow and reduce turbulence. A climate-controlled road simulator helps identify unwanted noises, and a torture test pinpoints their exact location, allowing engineers to refine the dual-mode exhaust system.
