@@ConfusedOxygen noise and air pollution are bad things. So called "good" engine sound is a nuisance and a health problem for many people living near roads. Now it's on its way out and good riddance. Electric cars are a blessing.
@@supermutant01 electric cars are quiet, emissionless, friendly to drive, simple to maintain, energy efficient. In almost every way superior to internal combustion engine cars.
When I did military service, I had gas mask training. A gas mask is basically a particle filter and it inherently causes the same problem: it muffles sounds. Of course, in battle it's kinda advantageous to be able to clearly hear what your squad mates are saying, so modern gas masks have special membranes that allow sound to pass through, but not air. I don't see why car manufacturers don't just add membranes to their filters.
I’ve never understood why bangs, or farts, from the exhaust are supposed to be desirable. The number of cretins driving up my road with some awful noise out the back (usually Fiestas but also an M140i) just makes you want to slap them in the face. Save noise for the circuit and rally stages (historic cars with ITBs is all I’d ever miss if that came to an end)
@@mTwMarco the s4 pops a little if you let of the throttle a little bit and taps the gas a little bit. The tune for pops and bangs tho... sounds stupid.
“Somehow got away with”, they’re a small manufacturer (under 10k cars) and have lower restrictions. Also you can still engineer good engine notes. Filters themselves are not mandatory - if manufacturers can do the emissions without them that’s fine
Paul Webb pre facelift? Love it. Only bad thing was Mercedes-Benz asshole move to pretty much give the c43 facelift the c63 pre facelift styling. And the only bad thing about that gen c class to me is the infotainment screen tablet shit. Other than that beautiful and awesome car. It was actually my first car but not as an amg but with a 4 pot, wish it had twice the cylinders
Call me crazy, but we're nearing a world that's from iRobot; the scene where Will Smith pulls out a petrol motorcycle and his female companion says "That's a gasoline I.C.E, those are dangerous" etc...
adding a filter could be beneficial for car sounds, the alfa romeo GTV6 had an excellent sounding engine with very little exhaust sound. Car manufacturers will start to focus on better engines rather than better exaust systems.
The exhaust note is not really what I look for in a car, more the intake note from the engine sucking in air and working hard. Since the mass production of turbochargers that has long gone. And now they've taken the fun of modifying our cars awag altogether, maybe it's time to buy some old cars after the virus has gone. Stay home and stay safe people, and good luck to you Mr Reid :)
Intake sounds kind of died a long time ago though, the move to closed up airboxes pretty much killed it. That's why you see a bunch of 'performance' cars that have proper pod filters for the wooshes but that are locked up in a box, hell the Focus RS literally seals away the filter once you close the bonnet so it's quiet while you drive and you only get the wooshes when you've got it open. It's ridiculous

Hi Rory, really didn’t enjoy watching you on Top Gear but you absolutely shot this channel and I find myself looking out for your videos here. Great video again, thanks for sharing.
I see this as both a blessing and a curse, since I feel like some cars are a little too loud, but this also affects cars that are a bit too quiet. One side wins the other side looses.
This is why I bought my 981 GTS when I did. I knew that glorious flat 6 was going away and I needed to get one before they did. So happy I have it, puts a smile on my face every time I start her up. Wouldn't change that sound for the world and I would not buy the modern equivalent, even if it's a little bit quicker/more powerful.

@@ultrastoat3298 that's what they thought of 2020 in the 90s and it didn't happen as you can clearly see for yourself the car community is huugeeee they will keep buying old cars and making them loud af you can't stop them
What if they are highly sensitive and don't like noise pollution? Seems like inherent optimism bias and terror management theory will always help regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent.
Cars peaked around 2006 when manufacturers where putting in naturally aspirated V8 and race tuned V10s that probably make the best engine sounds ever but future is electronic and engine noises will probably come out of the car speakers.
This is the thing, it makes no economical sense for the manufacturers to develop different versions of the same car for different markets, at least in the noise-making department. As a result, the cars are getting quieter globally.

One way to make the car louder is to remove the engine bay insulation. New cars have foam and sound deadening insulation inside the engine bay under the hood and inside the fenders. Remove that and sound escapes more.
@@nevarran the regulations are flawed, it's always us drivers getting hit everytime everywhere. And they milk us for more money to drive our cars. For some of a personal car isn't just a car like I guess it is for you. For some of us it's a passion. I love motor vehicles of all ages and my dream garage would have probably a few hundred cars from the ages. Someone who isn't a car guy wouldn't understand. They are the very people who ask a question of a dream car. There isn't one. There are too many dream machines out there which nullifies that very question.
@@tanvirhussain6106 No, they are not flawed. Most of the people on Earth live in cities, where the big concentration of vehicles is a huge health issue. So even if cars make a small percentage of the global emissions, reducing their particles output in the cities will have big impact on human health. And I'm sorry, but if I have to choose between asthma and my car sounding a little worse, I'll gladly choose the latter. I drive an A35 AMG, btw.
The S4, while being a nice car, isn't really an oldie. That was already pretty much the start of the downsizing craze and artificial sound/pops & bangs.
Good. If people cannot realise how irritating their loud sounding cars are to others, and if the PPF has the byproduct of reducing noise, I'm all for it. I live in the countryside and way too many cars pass by the road near my house whose engines are louder than the tyre/aero noise. It's a nono. Plus you have to remember that noise is wasted energy anyway. Not that ICE is a model of efficiency anyway...
To keep the original noise, how about installing two pipes after the headers. One flows through the PPF, the other bypasses the PPF and rejoins the tail pipe down stream. The second pipe would have a flexible diaphragm that would not allow gases to flow through that pipe, but importantly allow the noise to continue through. Best of both worlds.

Another solution may be for manufacturers to make the engine bay louder. Use less sound deadening materials between the firewall and the interior + alloys/metals which vibrate more. Bring more sound into the interior without playing fake computer generated sound files.

@Junior e39 ///M5 Fiat Panda 750 fire
When I did military service, I had gas mask training. A gas mask is basically a particle filter and it inherently causes the same problem: it muffles sounds. Of course, in battle it's kinda advantageous to be able to clearly hear what your squad mates are saying, so modern gas masks have special membranes that allow sound to pass through, but not air.
I don't see why car manufacturers don't just add membranes to their filters.
Of what material are modern masks? Is it capable to sustain extreme heat?
I’ve never understood why bangs, or farts, from the exhaust are supposed to be desirable. The number of cretins driving up my road with some awful noise out the back (usually Fiestas but also an M140i) just makes you want to slap them in the face. Save noise for the circuit and rally stages (historic cars with ITBs is all I’d ever miss if that came to an end)
yep, i have to agree.
There's a difference between pops & bangs coming out of a McLaren and pops & bangs coming out of a trashcan on wheels lol.
And that's the thing. The noise is only desirable to the person driving. Anybody else around them just think "bloody knobhead."
Yes, the worst is that it is all artificial nowadays...
Those "pops & bangs" are so predictable...

“Somehow got away with”, they’re a small manufacturer (under 10k cars) and have lower restrictions.
Also you can still engineer good engine notes.

Paul Webb pre facelift? Love it. Only bad thing was Mercedes-Benz asshole move to pretty much give the c43 facelift the c63 pre facelift styling. And the only bad thing about that gen c class to me is the infotainment screen tablet shit. Other than that beautiful and awesome car. It was actually my first car but not as an amg but with a 4 pot, wish it had twice the cylinders
It still doesn't sound as good as the older V8 AMGs.
Call me crazy, but we're nearing a world that's from iRobot; the scene where Will Smith pulls out a petrol motorcycle and his female companion says "That's a gasoline I.C.E, those are dangerous" etc...
adding a filter could be beneficial for car sounds, the alfa romeo GTV6 had an excellent sounding engine with very little exhaust sound. Car manufacturers will start to focus on better engines rather than better exaust systems.
The exhaust note is not really what I look for in a car, more the intake note from the engine sucking in air and working hard. Since the mass production of turbochargers that has long gone. And now they've taken the fun of modifying our cars awag altogether, maybe it's time to buy some old cars after the virus has gone. Stay home and stay safe people, and good luck to you Mr Reid :)
Agreed. Thank you for your comment.
Intake sounds kind of died a long time ago though, the move to closed up airboxes pretty much killed it. That's why you see a bunch of 'performance' cars that have proper pod filters for the wooshes but that are locked up in a box, hell the Focus RS literally seals away the filter once you close the bonnet so it's quiet while you drive and you only get the wooshes when you've got it open. It's ridiculous

Hi Rory, really didn’t enjoy watching you on Top Gear but you absolutely shot this channel and I find myself looking out for your videos here. Great video again, thanks for sharing.
Don't forget that they're now using a rev limiter...
I see this as both a blessing and a curse, since I feel like some cars are a little too loud, but this also affects cars that are a bit too quiet. One side wins the other side looses.
This is why I bought my 981 GTS when I did. I knew that glorious flat 6 was going away and I needed to get one before they did. So happy I have it, puts a smile on my face every time I start her up. Wouldn't change that sound for the world and I would not buy the modern equivalent, even if it's a little bit quicker/more powerful.

What if they are highly sensitive and don't like noise pollution? Seems like inherent optimism bias and terror management theory will always help regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent.
Cars peaked around 2006 when manufacturers where putting in naturally aspirated V8 and race tuned V10s that probably make the best engine sounds ever but future is electronic and engine noises will probably come out of the car speakers.
Yes , we are coming to the End of Noisy Exhaust , but luckily we still can enjoy these Exhaust Noise via You Tube & Dvd or Blueray ...
For South Africa, we ask for the "special option" to delete everything in the exhaust ;-)
This is the thing, it makes no economical sense for the manufacturers to develop different versions of the same car for different markets, at least in the noise-making department. As a result, the cars are getting quieter globally.
I have a mk1 golf with a straight pipe, gonna keep it forever now.

But for most people I think electric cars are more exiting. Most people buying performance cars today don’t even care about the sound.
Just has to look good, be fast, somewhat comfortable and have some nice features.
On this basis, in a few years pre- WLTP/2016 and older performance cars are going to go up in value a lot
Don´t count on that. Even if they sound a little better, almost all of them will continue to depreciate.

One way to make the car louder is to remove the engine bay insulation. New cars have foam and sound deadening insulation inside the engine bay under the hood and inside the fenders. Remove that and sound escapes more.

@@nevarran the regulations are flawed, it's always us drivers getting hit everytime everywhere. And they milk us for more money to drive our cars.

@@tanvirhussain6106 No, they are not flawed. Most of the people on Earth live in cities, where the big concentration of vehicles is a huge health issue.

Good. If people cannot realise how irritating their loud sounding cars are to others, and if the PPF has the byproduct of reducing noise, I'm all for it.
I live in the countryside and way too many cars pass by the road near my house whose engines are louder than the tyre/aero noise. It's a nono.

Only in the EU countries though? They can sell car without PPFs in non-EU countries, right? It is cheaper for them too.
Bought both my SL55 and F-Pace SVR in part for the music they make. Will hang on to the SL55 - full chat is EPIC! SVR is a major blast too sound-wise!
To keep the original noise, how about installing two pipes after the headers. One flows through the PPF, the other bypasses the PPF and rejoins the tail pipe down stream. The second pipe would have a flexible diaphragm that would not allow gases to flow through that pipe, but importantly allow the noise to continue through. Best of both worlds.
