Interesting that car design engineers are now psychologist lol.  Our cars certainly have the engine noise enhanced in the cab.  Put it in neutral and rev it, you can barely hear it.  Put it in drive and rev it with the brake on and it is much louder. Many cars do it, it is pretty subtle on ours compared to others I have heard and read about.

Now that right there is comical.

I'll admit to having giggle snorted slightly upon reading that post.

Thanks for the laugh there SBS.
