At least with Porsche (with my 991.2 GTS for sure) and I can swap modes to eliminate the burbles.

Sport mode creates the artificial farts while Sport Plus is all LeMans shreiks... I like the option.

I would guess here with the F90's that because the cabin is so insulated, just hearing any resemblance of an exhaust is something wanted. I know I was ok with my FE test drive and the M Sport but the non Sport was too tame.
