Agree with Zebadee, back off the throttle and let the vehicle pull off at low revs for 1/2 mile and roar disappears.

Never mind how to stop the noise, I want to know how to make it continuos
I think it sounds good - a bit like going through that 'bean can' exhaust phase when you just passed your test

mine started off with a roar from cold but now roars intermittently but constantly thru the gears,can cause this to happen by changing down hard.Believe me this is not something you would want to hear all the time.
Landrover have said that this is caused by the injector pump which has been replaced but no improvement found.

More likely to be the viscose coupling on the fan IMHO TDV6 HSE - Light Guards - White Reflective Sticker

I love my morning roar.
Viscous coupling or otherwise.
Please leave my roar alone.
It's the first big smile of my day
How to make it roar all day long? D3 HSE...120k and climbing.

it may sound good but it plays havoc with the fuel economy,my old rangerover viscous coupling failed and stuck in and it cost me an extra 5mpg  not good when i was only getting 12 to start with

Difficult to talk about fuel economy with a D3...
I love that roaring noise too when cold (all relative here... 8) . Had it with the Defender when hot.  The older I get, the better I was.

It is not a viscous fan...it's an electronically controlled fan with a clutch controlled by a PWM signal dependent upon various engine temperature readings  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

To quote from the bible:
Quote:The viscous fan unit is electronically controlled by the
ECM to optimise fan speed for all operating conditions.
NOTE: If the electrical connections to the viscous fan
are disconnected the fan will 'idle' and overheating may
result. The ECM stores the appropriate fault codes in
this case.
Clever, eh? Except when it stops working properly...
Maybe a powertrain software update could reduce roar?
