I don't mind channeling the REAL engine noise into the car. Like the article said, it can be preferable to the sound of bumps in the road or whining of wind. And for car enthusiasts who actually work on their own cars, sound is a key part of detecting and diagnosing issues with the car. But they need to cut it out with the fake noise. That's just glamor and it's unnecessary. The only exception I would support is for electric cars, for the purpose of pedestrian safety.
