There was a prison guard that got off work at midnight and would fast idle his straight-pipe Harley for 10 minutes before tearing off into the night. Even a mile away the noise was obnoxiously loud. Bold move for a guy that often works alone in a wing of 110 convicts.

Beetles have a subtle but unique and satisfying exhaust note. I don't think many would consider it to be noise pollution.
