It's so hard to describe sounds. What I'm talking about seems to be more transmission-related; you hear it when each gear engages and you accelerate. It's not a grinding noise or anything that sounds like something's wrong, just sort of an aggressive "OK, GEARS.. we're MESHED and we've got WORK to do" kind of thing. FR-S tranny sound is to BMW tranny sound as Skilsaw sound is to aquarium pump sound, sort of?

Most apt description ever.
Personally I would have the sounds no other way. It reminds me of my old cars in a raw sort of RWD manner and was something I missed in all my FWD cars. If I wanted silence I would be driving a Genesis coupe or something like that. In fact I went out of my way and spent money to have a catback that makes it even noisier.
The only experience I don't care for is when running snow tires.
