I have said for years that the car noise is at least 50% of the spectacle of rally. I'm sure most peoples first impression of a rally car live is the roar that you hear well before you see it, building the anticipation and excitement.
It's also why I pestered WRC+ for a no-commentary option.
As for the future (electric) cars, noise will be necessary for safety and Paddon has confirmed his EV car will have it no problem.

I'd say the discussion with tube amps against digital modeling devices has been, for the past 20 years, quite similar as ICE's against EV's in rallying, but it seems that the future has been finally adpoted in music production, let's see how it turns out in motorsport. (and yes, amplifiers are still used in the PA system to make the audience hear the band). Sorry OT again, but it's a sort of similar debate.
For me noise is not that important, competition is number one, and visual of the performance more important than the sound.
I'm sure there's people who think motorsport is nothing compared to horse races because you don't have the right smells

R5s sound really terrible... When I went to Rally Argentina I found the Maxi Rally cars to be far more exciting to watch because of the sound.
Additionally, R5s are meant to be driven cleanly and neatly, so it would 100% play against more aggressive drivers to go down that route.
