I so relate. I was once able to test drive a Audi R8 Spyder because the agency I work for works for Audi.

The motor sound isn't anything near quiet. Far from it. But I was astounded to find a button that enables a loud motor sound function.

With this button pressed the sound makes a lot of bikes sound like child toys. I really don't understand how one needs to show off in such a fashion and explicitly expressing a loud (pun intended) f** you to the rest of the world.

Victims of Stockholm syndrome. They were conditioned to associate the pleasure of effortless movement - such as you get silently on a sailboat or downhill skiing or biking - with the noise of internal combustion contraptions.

Good thing the end of those is in sight.
