On the now very rare occasion that any technical book appears in the local libraries I check it out ."Automotive Milestones" by Norton covers car development to date. Informative but not perfect (e.g .the explanations of balance very unnecessarily obscure.)
"Makers of high performance cars are now using artificial means to add "pleasant" sounds to their cars to give the impression of power. Cars that have had their natural sounds muffled to near silence (and evs) are now using computer technology to pump artificial engine "growl" into the cabin through the radios speakers etc"
I wonder if they have a harshness control to simulate spark advance. it would take some sound to stir the adrenalin like an RP downwind (Wellington style) at 60mph.
