I'm just giving you a hard time, you do you.
One of my first cars was a Nissan 350Z, which i then dailied for almost 14 years. That's like the automotive sound equivalent of being dropped as a baby. My threshold for where shitty sounding engines actually start bothering me is extraordinarily low. And if you think a 350Z sounds bad, you should hear my race car....its got a mid 70's pushrod v6 that redlines at 4K Rpm.
I appreciate a good sounding engine, and in a perfect world there would be no compromises, but here in this world, I'll always pick horsepower over sound. But again, it's easier for me because pretty much no matter what, I end up thinking "well hey...this sounds better than my Z did at least!"
