If the GT4 had been the more punchy flat 4, there would be a much better result. JMO, the new flat six doesn't sound all that hot either.

I’ve been a bit confused by the sound too - I have a 981 BGTS with the 3.4L flat six, and it sounds crazy good. So do the “other” 3.8 and 4L engines...I’m hoping it’s just the EU particulate filters and that the US car will sound a lot better, but I’ve been underwhelmed by all the videos I’ve seen.
Need to see one in person to hear the real deal. The 718 Spyder is hopefully my next ride, someday.
