Comment on Why the Ferrari F355 sounds so good

Comments

Funny, because it doesn't sound good to me really. I prefer more of a rumble (like that from my Subaru's flat boxer engine) than a drone sound like the Ferraris.

Subaru's exhaust note is the textbook definition of drone. To the point that people are sticking steel wool in their stock exhausts: https://www.subaruforester.org/threads/2014-stock-wrx-exhaus...

I get exhaust notes are subjective, but I've found Subaru owners are the only people who appreciate Subaru exhaust notes, and at which point it starts to feel a bit like a sunk cost thing.

I expect I'd be annoyed by that sound too if I drove the WRX but I don't. I drive a Forester and don't hear any exhaust note - just the rumble from the engine up front.

Do you also enjoy the sound of a BMW boxer twin motorcycle engine?
