We figured out it was a dude that installed a train horn on his car and drove around scaring people, like this:
You could give someone a heart attack, and you could annoy the crap out of people, but on the scale of never having fun, and driving a truck with trucknutz and spewing black smoke "Rolling Coal" on purpose, this is middle of the road.

There's a difference between an engineered sound from intake or exhaust design, or the controlled misfire in the F-Type at one end, and at the other is the "faked" engine sounds played through the cars audio system at the other.
I'm looking right at BMW here...
They had the outrageous 5.0L V10 in the E60 M5, it sounded a million bucks.
Then came the F10 M5 with it's twin-turbo 4.4L V8, and it sounded so lame in comparison to the V10 that they had to come up with this fake engine sound played through the audio system.
Not the topic of this thread but this is my greatest concern about JLR using a twin-turbo V8 from BMW in future, the soundtrack of the F-Type will be lost, and you get something played through the speakers instead... god I hope not...

I'm with you on the BMW fake engine vs engineering sound the old fashion way. Playing engine sound through the speakers is like a cheap boob job on a pole dancer (nasty!)...if your going to fake it do it properly with the exhaust pipes and resonators under the hood. At least Jag doesn't cheat, just open your window and blast down a tunnel and you'll get my point.

Piping fake engine sounds in through the speakers (like BMW) is just so wrong.
I"m OK with mechanical tweaks: resonators, symposers, rods and baffles that quiet or enhance the "natural" mechanical sounds of the motor, but electronically processing the sound or faking it entirely? Not for me.
I had a Triumph 1974 TR6 for a long time, it made beautiful noises and Triumph/British Leyland didn't have the money for a "sound engineer." The car suffered from horrible NHV issues (noise, harshness and vibration) and I'm glad to be rid of it, but it sounded delightful. I understand when Mazda developed the original Miata they "acoustically analyzed" a bunch of old British sports-cars (MG, Triumph, Jag) and selected exhaust components that would replicate that "classic resonance" that the British cars had "naturally."
