No, Mr. Sticker, this isn't a debate about Mr. Trump here. The ANC and fake engine noise is, from what I read, quite a real part of these Ecoboost cars and trucks. The noise cancelling is one thing, but it certainly appears that additional lower frequency sounds are added "to the experience" to enhance what the customer expects to hear.
Research some of the ANC or Fake Engine Noise in reference to Mustangs and you'll read more about this "high performance sound". The degree to which the Expedition's male enhancement is enriched vs the F-150 or Mustang is questionable. I don't know if they are all the same or if different car lines have different levels of the added noise.
The only way to find out for sure is to disable the stuff in an Expedition and listen to how it behaves. I would certainly try it, but I don't have an Econoboost. You don't either, so it may be awhile before we know for certain.
You can believe this or not; I have no first hand knowledge myself. But I've read enough though credible sources to be convinced that there is some "performance enhancing sound" added to these cabins.
While we may be miles apart on politics, Mr. Sticker, I have nothing but respect for you, your views and your automotive logic. Nothing derogatory intended at all my upstate friend.
Consider this article. Though six years old, it shows that Ford juices the Ecoboost sound:

Ford retains V8 engine roar in 2015 F-150 V6 using a bit of audio wizardry and the truck’s speakers
Though Ford engineers actually figured out a way to get V8 power out of the EcoBoost V6 engine in the 2015 F-150, what they weren’t able to figure out was how to make a V6 produce sound like a V8. Knowing that certain customers might miss that rumble and roar, Ford engineers came up with a...
