It is certainly important to me. My S2000 engine and exhaust sounds were pure bliss esp when winded out to 9000 RPM (with a Mugen exhaust no less). It is arguably the most defining character of the car.
Then there was this one time I was just casually browsing outside a Porsche dealership with no intention of even setting foot inside their door. Just as I was ready to leave, someone was returning from a test drive in a 987S. It sounded amazing even at light throttle at parking lot speed. It pretty much harpooned my wallet out of my pocket at that moment. The 718, for all its remarkable advances in acceleration and handling since the 987, doesn't appeal to me. :shrug:
