This is why auto manufacturers put sound soak material between the passenger compartment and mechanicals of the vehicle. It would drive the occupants of the vehicle crazy to hear all the mechanical noise. And once you start thinking about what you are hearing, you hearing increases 900 percent. Take a naked bike and ride for awhile then put a larger wind screen on the bike... the noises from the engine bounce off the wind screen and seem to magnify. I personally would be miserable if I heard all these strange noises and would buy some ear plugs.
