Consider this from years back, not sure if the efficiency balance has changed, but it used to be thought a Top Fueler was approx 33% efficient in converting to mechanical energy, another 1/3 was lost as waste heat, and 1/3 became acoustic energy. In a 6000hp motor, that means 6000 hp of acoustic energy, and if 1 hp equals 754? acoustic watts, that's approx 4,524,000 watts, and the most efficient large speakers are at best 33% efficient, most today are far below that. it would take 13,572,000 RMS watts to equal one Top fueler at full throttle.
This all circles back to any acoustic wind noise in your car while driving is wasted energy.
