It is correct. A tachometer sense signal wire feeds a dedicated audio circuit in the OEM radio. This is the next step from the speed sense line that is used to adjust stereo volume. If you replace your OEM radio with aftermarket, you will lose the artificial sound.
A while back, they started using speakers to cancel out exhaust and road noise in the cabin by placing a microphone into a feedback loop that would send the same sound 180 degrees out of phase. Funny how they are now "enhancing" the sound through speakers.
