Who brought the v8 just because of the sound?

The week before Xmas the car went in and was hooked back to JLR to restore the factory setting I was called on the Thursday to say it was complet and successful.
Then first thing Friday morning I was called to say upon test drive by the manager the eml came back on and code for o2 sensor had come on and they were waiting for JLR to tell them what to do next.
I then got the car back almost a week later fitted with the new o2 sensor they delivered the car back to me we were standing outside and never even heard the car come back the first we new was when the driver walked through the gate.
From there after a week of calls they had returned the ecu to back to how it was.

1. Sometime last year, you were getting an eml.
2. They determined it needed the 309 update flash.
3. They flashed and your sound went away
4. You took the car back just before Christmas to have the factory flash put back on.
5. The eml came on during the test drive (Did the sound come back??)
6. JLR replaced the O2 sensor (Did they put the 309 flash back on ??)
7. EML light is now off and sound is gone.
8. They returned it to how it was, when (original, upgrade flash)?
The last couple of steps need clarification? Answering the 3 questions above might shed some insight.

O2 Sensors
I've been having O2 issues as well (all this happened within first 1600 miles). Brought car into service when CEL came on. I was told it was a recall issue which they allegedly fixed and sent me on my way. Following week CEL came on again. They said this time they had to replace the O2 sensor. CEL light came on a month later. I brought it in and they said they were getting the same code for O2 sensor and wanted it for a few solid days to diagnose and involve higher level techs. The service manager explained to me there were a few O2 sensors and they only replaced one. I schedule the appointment but the CEL went off on it's own. It just came on again yesterday (3 weeks later). It's going in the shop on Monday. No loss of power, same snorts and pops as always. Not sure if they've already done the K309 (I'll be sure to ask). I'd be pressing them to take the car back if I hadn't already dumped $4500 into Xpel.

OUCH ... !
I already know, if I'm ever rolling home very late into the night, once I get to my neighbourhood street area, hit that button to silence the crazy exhaust .

When I get off the highway heading home I make sure that the baffles are open. I always grab the paddles and make sure that it stays in second up the hill, and in first from the 2 four-way stops. I want to make sure that my neighbors know that I'm home. I'm such a d**k!

Ok step one.
Car made a buzzing noise from left rear diagnosed vacuum pump for exhaust valves = no eml light
2 complain exhaust sound now gone on over run
Back and forth for months to get sound back including fitting the pump back on
New throttle body fitted replaced vacuum pipes on engine ,noise amplifier for inside the car (which I never new it had)
Exhaust swaped of another car to test
Other things that they changed I can't remember.
The last time it went in they were putting in the factory flash back in and I was told it's all back to popping and everything but to be honest they told me this every time they brought it back.
I never got it back in this state as I was told the day they were bringing it back the eml light had come on (this was the first and only time it had come on and wasn't witnessed by me)
Then they replaced the o2 sensor and brought it back for me to find out it was still the same no noise.
I will post a video/sound track from when I brought it and one of it now at the weekend weather permitting

I glad you replied to that one as I questioned that myself.
I now going back with the car for the manager to test drive on Monday I'm going to ask for a full list of what's been done as I feel like they are just taking the p#%s
The master tec told me that it was to amplify the exhaust sound into the cab
