One of the controversies these days is whether your car is faking the engine noise.
The Washington Post writes that "The engine growl in some of America’s best-selling cars and trucks is actually a finely tuned bit of lip-syncing".

Who cares? I think if it sounds good, why not? You ought to be able to shut it off though if you want to run silent.
*gasp* An engine that's quiet and smooth running? Heresy you say. It must not be very powerful then.
I see they are having to make electric cars sound noisy to make pedestrians aware of their presence. Imagine a prius that sounds like a Harley Davidson.
