Really? Look at 1:27 in this video - does this sound like crap to you?.

As for the sound generator in the FR-S/BRZ? I never found the noise to be irritating or annoying (and I went on probably an hour+ of "spirited" test drives when I was in the market for a car last fall/spring), but it's definitely personal preference. Fortunately, it's an easy fix to try out simply by plugging the tube, and it's easily reversible too.
