I have no doubt people actually love the sound of the engines, but I think it's an acquired taste through association with fast cars. But once you get used to fast cars without the noise, those ripping engines are just bothersome.
We have a 1947 Willys Jeep. It is the objectively worst vehicle I've ever driven, but it sounds magnificent. I've not had it into third gear yet, at least in high range. Second is quite fast enough, thank you very much[0]. I assure you it's not just speed.
[0] How fast is that? Who knows; the speedometer doesn't work, along with many other things.
