What do you look for in 'Noise'?
Discussion
Just a bit of musing on what floats people's boats on the noise of their cars.
I've got a V10 RS6 and one of the most disappointing things on it was the standard exhaust and general noise when pressing on, the bellow is quickly replaced by induction noise from the two turbos spooling up until the very top end of the rev range.
I quickly replaced the standard exhaust with a Milltek Resonated system, alongside some panel filters which has helped with a bit more of a bass rumble and induction noise, but just replaced one of the resonated centre sections with a non-resonated centre section to free up some more of raspiness of the engine, which I think has got it about right. It's not ASBO loud or annoying (but does rattle the front door in the morning) but now feels and sounds like a V10.
What does everyone look for in their engine noise, apart from volume?
