Is the Audi R8's exhaust sound loud?
2 Answers
During acceleration, the Audi R8 produces a relatively loud exhaust sound. Here is some information about car exhaust sounds: 1. The generation of car exhaust sound is a very complex issue. Many car owners' understanding of exhaust sound is limited to the car's exhaust pipe. While the exhaust pipe can indeed affect the sound, it is not the origin of the sound. Many car owners prefer to modify the car's exhaust pipe to alter the exhaust sound, as this is the most direct method. 2. In fact, the car's body also has a certain impact on the exhaust sound, which is the true source of the car's exhaust sound.
I've driven the Audi R8 several times, and its exhaust note is absolutely thunderous, especially the V10 engine version. When starting the car, that deep growl makes the entire garage vibrate, and it gets even more exaggerated in Sport mode—stepping on the accelerator unleashes a roaring sound like a race car, sending adrenaline surging. Compared to turbocharged cars, the R8's naturally aspirated design delivers a purer, more direct exhaust note with minimal filtering. Driving it on city streets might disturb the neighbors, so I often switch to Comfort mode to lower the volume. On the highway, though, the exhaust note becomes pure enjoyment, with every gear shift accompanied by a delightful mechanical sound, making the driving experience exhilarating. However, prolonged exposure to high volumes could affect hearing, so I recommend wearing earplugs or opting for the noise-canceling system. Overall, the R8's exhaust note is one of its signature charms, perfect for thrill-seeking drivers.
