From an F1 engineer. The cars this year will be noisier, because some like that, but the engineers say they'll get quieter again because that's just wasted energy, which will make the cars faster if they get rid of it. One for the broom broom brigade, who love the sound of a combustion engine. That noise is the engine farting, blowing energy unused straight out the exhaust. And nearly all combustion cars you can buy make hardly noise at all now anyway, it's only the tiny handful of enthusiast old clunkers that still make a racket.
