Modern computer controlled engines do not burble. So, the fact that this one does means that it is artificially created.

And that my friends, is sad. Very sad.

Mine does ... "Open" Pse and sharkwerks bypass
Or you can Feather the throttle whilst left foot braking for maximum noise
The 991 makes a pretty good noise on lifting .
Not sure if the throttle doesn't mechanically fully close or it's electronic .

Sometimes I get a snap crackle pop on the overrun and definitely a burble...but not a machine gun effect like this. I wonder how it is created. IIRC the snap and pop got greatly reduced with after installation of a 74mm TB.

I have a custom bypass stock muffler and sec. cat delete pipes that do it. Will try to capture the sound on video and post.

Thstone, did Porsche really do something to the motor or exhaust to create the burble / pop? Or just enhance it as others in the automotive industry have done?

Faking It: Engine-Sound Enhancement Explained - Tech Dept. - Car and Driver

The flat 6 has an inherent strange "flatulent" sound as it comes off revs with many exhausts, I've heard it explained before but forget the specifics. My Box S had a B & B exhaust on it that had a beautiful burble to it that kept me from pulling it due to drone.
