My answer to this "joy of loud ICE noises" statement is:
"Do you want to make noise, or do you want to win races and set world
records? I'd rather set world records."
This pretty much ends the discussion, because it points out the
foolishness of the loud exhaust argument.
EV's are going to edge out ICE's in performance and in completion. The
power-to-weight of an electric drive is vastly superior for events of
about a 15 miles, but as battery technology improves, that time/distance
constraint will go way. EV's own the top records on Pike's Peak Hill
Climb. The land speed folks are slowly waking up to electric drive, and
the drag racing crowd is slowly awakening.
Formula 1 cars make a buzz not unlike a blender. High rpm turbocharged
ICE's with hybrid electric drive trains tend to make a high-pitched
whine instead of the classic roar or rumble. Their goal is to win the
race, not make any particular noise.

Sometimes I think that for them, the noise and stink are features, not bugs.
They are out there.. I have a 30 year old son who is a "car guy" that firmly
believes that real cars are LOUD! The louder the better - both engine noise and stereo.
