Old turbos were put on for power = amazing noise

New turbos now put on for efficiency = muffled sound

I saw this last night right before I fell asleep. It was a wonderful lullaby.

That is an incredibly unique engine note. It sounds like 4 different engines in one.

Well, turbo engines don't rev to 9000 RPM, and engines that do usually give quite the howl. So yes. That. And a lot of bandwagoning about new F1.
