Let\u2019s now focus our attention on each one with greater depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, not every engine sound is equal. Some people may\nlove the sound of a truly powerful engine like a Ferrari, but not enjoy that of\nan old and struggling \u201cbeater.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/thirdcoastautos\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/767\/2020\/02\/loud-car-fantasy_df.jpg\" alt=\"A deep dive into the head of someone driving a loud hatchback.\" class=\"wp-image-1884 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/746\/2020\/02\/15073356\/loud-car-fantasy_df.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/746\/2020\/02\/15073356\/loud-car-fantasy_df-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3>A Thrilling Drive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For some, the sound of an engine equates to sportiness and power. The louder the sound, the greater the thrill. They know their vehicle is standing out. The engine noise also gives them something to play with and feel sporty, even if they\u2019re just driving through traffic. To achieve this, some individuals even attach a performance exhaust to a regular car. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Performance Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who make their car louder may commonly cite improved\nperformance as their motivation. Removing a muffler can very slightly increase\na vehicle\u2019s horsepower by allowing greater levels of exhaust fumes to leave the\nengine in a free-flow style. No muffler is in place to hinder or provide\nresistance to the vehicle\u2019s \u201cexhale,\u201d resulting in an optimal expulsion of\nenergy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, the horsepower increase and corresponding\nperformance boost is almost undetectably minute. On a racecar that is optimized\nin every possible fashion for performance, this is understandable. But on a\nstandard vehicle it\u2019s less defensible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>Optimized Shift Notification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other loudness aficionados claim that it provides better engine acoustics, letting them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/blog\/why-is-being-in-the-right-gear-in-a-car-important\/\">know the perfect moment to shift<\/a>. While it\u2019s true that this might come in handy at the track, it is not necessary for the vast majority of driving. In fact, cars are required by law to have enough engine noise present in the cabin to convey the necessary auditory cues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>Attention-Getting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common accusation leveled at car-noisers, especially by those who don\u2019t particularly appreciate the sound, is that they\u2019re doing it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/blog\/what-car-color-is-most-likely-to-get-pulled-over\/\">for attention.<\/a> All us humans have mental needs to assert our egos (unless one is a fully enlightened Buddha), and people find different ways to give their ego the reassurance it needs.
