Sonic anxiety relief at cruising speeds
I got relief from the sense of imminent destruction at high revs - and at highway cruising speeds - by blocking that silly tube that brings induction noise into the passenger compartment. The sound it made was always incongruous to me; didn't sound like an engine running, sounded like a vacuum cleaner. I found it embarrassing, at least; sort of a toy car "feature".
I know this doesn't directly address the OPs question, but I find the car much more pleasant to drive with just the honest engine and exhaust noise. It might lower OP's anxiety level at his cruising speeds if the extra - and silly - sucking sound wasn't being piped in.
