F1 engine note - Why all the haters?

I love the sound!

OK to many it will sound like a monotonous grunting sound but if you listen closely there is some amazing turbo spool, wastegate chatter and antilag

What's wrong with that lot?

Why would I want to listen closely to hear wastegate chatter over the top of the monotonous grunting? I want to be aurally assaulted by a howling V10/12.

Maybe it makes less difference if you are sitting on your sofa watching the TV, but when watching the race from the side of the track the sound has always been one of the outstanding experiences of F1.

Well I like it and as I'm the Original Poster and this is my thread it makes me right and you wrong. Capiche?

Surprised no one picked up on this: the 2014 turbo F1 engines don't have wastegates or antilag. The MGU-H regulates the turbo speed, negating the need for a wastegate or anti-lag.

As for sound, it lacks dynamic range. I'll reserve judgment on the volume until I go to a race. On TV, it's nice to hear the tyres too.

Please don't attempt to cloud the matter with facts

whenever Ive seen an F1 race in the past, Ive found the 'old' noise quite annoying after a while. too damn loud
