    Hi guys, do you want engine rev noises heard inside the cabin or just a quiet atmosphere for your peaceful, relaxed driving. Para sakin mas ok yung na naririnig ko revs

    Depends. When driving a 6 banger, I wanna hear it roar. Same when I had a v8. But for smaller cars, a quiet comfy ride is what I want

    Idling? No. I don't want to hear engine noise, especially the tak-a-tak-a-tak of a four-cylinder engine.

    Accelerating? Yup. I love the deep growl of V6 engines under hard acceleration. V8? Even better. I wasn't exactly fond of the sound my last turbo-4 car made. It has a sort of wheeeee followed by a whoooooosh as the turbo kicked in. If I hadn't seen outside turning into a blur, I'd be totally turned off by the sound. I tried adding one of those fart bottles to deepen the exhaust some. It just sounded obnoxious. Replaced it with a Flowmaster exhaust.

    i prefer silence. except maybe a little purr when accelerating. if i wanted a noisy car i'd be driving one that i can't afford, like a ferrari. anything less is simply pretentious.

    pineapple can exhaust anyone?

    Quiet engine for me. Plus a little sound when accelerating.

    same here, just enough sound to let you know it's time to shift. di ko masyado tinitingnan RPM unless bago yung auto or di sakin.

    I prefer a quiet ride unless the time I need to push the engine further.

    Depende sa car brand yan.

    High end (i.e. Mercedes S Class) = Everything should be quiet.

    Middle end (i.e Mercedes E Class) = A little (muffled) sound is okay.

    Low end (i.e The puny little econobox parked on the driveway) = Mag-rereklamo ka pa ba? Yan lang kaya ng bulsa mo.

    Newer Ms have lesser sound deadening, no bonnet insulation....lighter (around 10kg less in some) & better heat dissipation.

    Electric cars are now required to make noise at low speeds so they don’t sneak up and kill us | The Verge

    This is to prevent these vehicles from injuring pedestrians, especially people who are blind or are visually impaired.

    Yes there is a minimum sound requirement for electric cars because they are too quiet to be heard by pedestrians, cyclists, the blind and others. Now for cars with combustion engines i am not so sure

    i prefer low engine noise while driving. and low engine noise also means low cabin noise which is good especially when you have a good SQ car audio set up.

    "noisy" is relative.
    personally, i prefer some amount of engine noise.
    i want some amount of feedback.
    "but not too much."

    For me, it depends...

    Daily driver - I want it as quiet as possible

    Ang naiisip ko lang na use ng engine noise is when driving a manual...
