I've heard them at the Goodwood FoS and always think they sound pretty good.
Really?Every time I have seen live F1 since 2014 (I will be there tomorrow) I've come away very disappointed by just how underwhelming they sound.
Dont get me wrong, the V10 era (for me) is the best, those things just sound dangerous, but the V8s were just a high pitched shriek.
I suppose thats the beauty of the FoS, you can get so close to so many different types of cars, it's great to be able to compare them.
Plus excuse to share Hiedfeld taking the McLaren MP4/13 up the hill:

Apart from a Top Fuel dragster, it's the most visceral, violent and ear splitting thing I've ever witnessed.

F1 have invested millions in trackside audio to try and make the current-gen cars sound good on TV.
Meanwhile, have a rare example of Lewis dropping the PR face and telling it like it is, when being interviewed as an old V10 runs around the track. From 2020.
