Yeah noise is just part of living in a city. At least loud cars are usually moving so you're only subjected to them for a few seconds. I'll take the growl of a Ferarri over some shitty straight piped V6 Mustang with a crackle tune on it.

To some extent, sure, but noise pollution is a much bigger problem in cities designed for cars compared to cities designed for people or public transport. If you're in a car-centric city chances are you're hearing much more car noise than all other city noise combined, to such an extent that it will negatively affect your health.

But that's an infrastructure problem, screaming at some random driver doesn't help anyone.

I will say that in an area with a lot of trucks a low lying car or motorcycle feels safer for everyone when equipped with a loud exhaust. Also if you have a standard transmission it helps indicate intention when you negotiate the clutch from a full stop as well.
