Sapphireho: unfortunately that's where
world seems going to, with cars required by law laguna-seca like muffling and choice differing only in which specific way fake sounds will be produced. Yes, bmw's playback on stereo is another way. Choose your poison
.
Though madness goes other direction aswell, weren't some US states requesting for hybrid and electric cars to generate fake extra noises to outside, so that it makes pedestrians more aware of cars, no?
