    My two AMGs had this very loud sound when starting the engine (after 2 sec it was over).  I always found this more than embarrassing, because - more often than not - I had to leave at 5am. I very much hope that AMG has changed this. 

    Yep, this sound has disappeared a long time ago but you should have heard my R8 V10 Plus...oh boy. Smiley

    My Performante is better in that regard, only one short loud burst, then a little bit loud(er) and after a couple of seconds, it quiets down, which is OK because I turn on the engine with the garage door closed, so the neighbors aren't bothered. Works like a charm. Smiley

    AMG did two software updates on my E63 S and both quieted down the exhaust sound, especially in the lower rev range and at idle. My son was pretty angry, I was pretty disappointed that AMG did that. I am not driving revving high through the city, so the low speed, low rev figure fun was basically gone. 

    The new GLC63 S AMG is different: They did what they did with my wife's C63 S AMG (facelift with particulate filter), they kind of gave the car a very deep V8 growl (US muscle car like) which isn't very loud but highly noticeable. I just love this sound. Unfortunately, over 3000 rpm, the sound becomes higher in pitch but basically keeps the same loudness, so you can barely hear the V8 anymore. The sound is there, you can hear it is a V8 but it is not offensive at all in sound and it definitely isn't too loud. Pretty nice setup in the lower rev range and at idle but I wish AMG would have allowed the C63 and GLC63 to sound the same in the upper rev range.

    Last Saturday, I was standing with my Performante at a stop light in Munich and a young(er) guy in a Mini Cooper S directly on my right side started playing with his throttle, grinning at my son (who was with me in the car). My son looked at me and told me "what is this idiot doing, why is he doing that?" and I have to admit that I didn't have a clue.

    I would have thought a man of your huge experience would have known exactly what this idiot was doing and I would expect a well adjusted late teenager's adrenaline would have been peaking with the sight and sounds of a fellow hunter goading him at the lights - you need to let your son out in the real world maybe so (at the very least) he can read the signs of "trouble" Smiley

    For a lot of cars that initial loudness is due to the car trying to quickly warm up the cats.  So rather than particulate pollution they create noise pollution.  My GT3 RS is insanely loud at start up (no valves) then quickly quiets down as well.  I love my exhaust but it is embarrassing when I start it up early in the morning and my garage faces my neighbor’s master bedroom Smiley

    OK, I'll spell it out for you.....

    If you are in a supercar it will have an affect on some people around you, for some women it will have a certain type of affect which we won't go into for now as it's not relevant, for some men, particularly car enthusiast and high testosterone types (usually with bushy growths) normally sub 50 but not always, being along side a throbbing supercar will illicit a base somewhat primevil emotional reaction which manifests intself in gesticulations and often uncontrolled spasming of the right leg causing them to rev whatever vehicle they may be in. These people are showing their appreciation of your supercar,  they'd like you to rev it for them and ideally they want you to do a violent and loud launch...... its all good stuff and for me one should be nice to these types as they really are on our "side" smiley

    So far, I had 99% positive feedback in the Performante, with only one exception and this was probably the second (weird) one. I know that people want me to rev it but sorry, I am not doing that in the middle of the city at a stop light. Smiley

    People are usually more open minded than it seems. Most impressive was that older (in his 70s) bicycle rider who came towards my car after I parked it. Judging by his age, his clothing, his bicycle and his face expression, I expected the worst. This guy actually taught me (again) that looks can be deceiving. He was super friendly, told me how much he loves the car and didn't want to leave. Smiley Women? I don't care (anymore).

    Totally correct.

    He wanted you to rev it, buddy, to listen to its audio Smiley.

    I have had this in my GT3 by some young dude in a "Carlos FanDango" Astra, revving the balls out of it..I didn't bother though as it happened in a very busy High Street. In fact, I wouldn't have done so anyway Smiley. Too much chest hair for that BS..Smiley..
