I believe in the cycle world we described this scenario as loud and proud.

I don't consider my car as loud, I think it has a nice mellow tone, but when my daughter went to get her license the registry cop said it was loud and ended up failing her. I think the car may have had something to do with it but I can't prove it. My bike is stupid loud, someone once told me that it sounded like a hurricane as heard through a beer can. (Supertrapp with 31 discs and a competition tip with 1 1/2" hole in the end) It's not just loud for loud sake, it's the only way it will run after all the head/intake/carb. work. And it still runs a little rich!
