This moment (much like how a commercial airline pilot has the second most boring job after a security guard once he's in the air in cruise mode), the least eventful moment - the engine switches to a 4 banger and the last bit of entertainment is ripped violently from you - that beautiful V8 sound is gone.

Chances are....the sound of the V8 would be minimal at best at those speeds. My bets are on a dramatically-improved sound-barrier to reduce road noise........
But point taken...It'll be something we need to get used to...easy enough technology to implement, with big dividends in mpg...
