I always been into internal combustion engine noise for some reasons. I like the harmonics, the vibrations, the feeling of power. It’s wasted energy but it’s fun.

But when I’m driving to the kindergarten at 7am, I want silence and peace. When I’m part of the traffic going back home and you have one guy making so much noise for fun while barely moving, I wish for bad things. When you are in the mountains and you hear some middle-aged men enjoying their vibrators with wheels, I wish they would drive electric.

I think we should eventually restrict the noisy and smelly cars to racetracks and special events. Like we do for horse carriages.

I would gladly make noise in a Ferrari for a few laps in an industrial area far from people.



I'm similar; I do like nice sounding engine but not necessarily want it loud
