I don't miss the noise in F1, but it was definitely odd being at a race weekend where you could hear the 2-seater demonstration car from a mile away, but the F1 sessions were quieter than some of the support series.
We need to stop burning fossil fuels to have a planet to race on, but if we can generate a huge amount of energy in a clean way, then I don't mind using some of that energy to make a big loud show.
I went to my first IRL GP in Monaco this year, and the F1s were definitely the "quietest" of the lot. Still painful after a while, but not as much as the other series.
The Porsche Cup cars are obnoxiously loud. The F2 car engines sound dull but downshifts sound like gun shots.
I think if you want ear splitting sound levels and variety, go see a GT3 race.
