Some methods I'm definitely on the fence about; BMW's M5 had a complete engine soundtrack played through the sound system. While others are not as bad; Mustang Ecoboost's ASM mearly emits frequencies that cancell out unwanted noise so you don't hear them, no amplification of engine noise happens. And then there are methods im totally ok with; the 5.0's sound tube, which itself is full of padding for whatever reason, simply lets the cabin hear a little more induction noise.

I guess if this has to happen because engines are becoming ever more and more refined...so be it. And if this is the issue we're picking to argue then it seems we're scrapping the bottom of the barrel for things to hate. That's not a bad thing.

Also to those who hate this, I've seen many members here and on ther boards bring up the New GT's use of a 3.5EB rather than a V8. They say that they don't care about the fact that it'll make nice hp and have a broad tq curve because it that's not the whole experience, that the sound of a strong V8 also needs to be there. To me it seems like these are the people that would say;
"I hate it because it doesn't sound like a V8."
and then turn around in almost the same sentence say;
"I hate it because they made it sound like a V8."
This just struck me as an odd paradigm.
