They might be supposed to sound like that but I prefer them this way:

when I heard Jochen Rindt's f1 Lotus a few years ago, it sounded like an angry SR71 with laryngitis.

.. Hard to say which is better, but either way, the changes are quite noticeable over the years...
...Monaco.. is a RUSH.. if you've ever been. Especially if you're sitting at the pit exit as they're screaming out of the pits and excellerating into turn 1..
Ear plugs were useless.......!!

Re noise: For me it's a bit like the noisy un-muffled exhaust on a Harley (or any M/C).
What's the point except to draw attention to the rider.(Look at me!)
It doesn't sound good, just loud (not the same thing unless you're 20yrs old)
Sports/Muscle cars also - there's just loud, and then there's that lovely deep burble.
You don't have to deafen people for it to sound good.
Whether it's a rock concert or a motor race, I don't want to have to wear ear-plugs to protect my hearing.

the point of loud (loud, thoaty rumble, not loud as in rumble glass from blocks away) pipes on a motorcycle is simple (respectfully), and it is exactly to notice me:

The point of louder pipes is to alert all the cell phone chatting-FB updating-BFF texting-late-sipping-jackass-cage drivers in their hermetically sealed 4,000 lb lethal weapons who feel it is their God-given right to drive however they want to in as many lanes as they like at the same time- that I am here and don't want to die because you can't be bothered to HANG UP and DRIVE.

that is the point of loud(er) pipes. Notice I didn't say un-restricted pipes or no silencers, because those are obnoxious and disrespectful of the environment, IMHO. I want to enjoy the ride, not ruin it for everyone around ,e.

NOW, that being said, when I worked nites and kept odd hours, I also posted the following notice to my neighbors on my block:

Aloha! I frequently commute on a motorcycle. If the noise from my bike is too loud or bothers you, please let me know so that I can change my riding patterns. Thank you
-Me

My usual routine was to pop the clutch and let it roll until I was down the hill and out of the subdivision. So no, I am not one of "those guys"

As for f1, it's a race track. We don't come to hear a salad shooter shoot out.

The "justification" for overly loud exhausts is an argument usually advanced by owners of motorcycles with unduly loud exhausts.
Most car drivers won't hear a motorcycle, no matter how loud the pipes, because they have all the windows up and are doing one or more of the behaviours mentioned. (love the "latte-sipping-jackass-cage" bit!)
This won't change anytime soon and motorcyclists who want to survive quickly learn a range of protective behaviours. I rode a MC daily until my 40s.
Nobody goes to a racetrack thinking it won't be noisy, it's a question of how noisy.
I would prefer to not need ear-plugs.

lavaman · 20 July 2015, 09:56 PM

I expect things to be loud at racetracks. And I know enough physics to know that loud pipes really don't save lives, but they do get the driver's attention.

Sorry, I should have added "makeup applying"....
Didn't notice your avitar.

Oh well

Plenty to like about f1 besides the sound

I love F1 and I miss the sound, but as for me the soubd of choice the purest is this....
