I'm a 75 year old ludite who loves the sound of V12s.
But this seemingly automatic assumption that any change or dimunition of noise wil hurt attendance at F1 races needs a bit of thought.
I know a number of people who have attended an F1 GP who will never go back because the sound hurts!
The other point is that noise is the major limitation on the sites and format of race tracks.
Why continue deliberately maximising the problem when the natural fit for new F1 engines offers both technological relevance and some easing of what many would call the "noise problem?"
