You haven't seen videos of people in tesla's in ludicrous mode.
Way more adrenaline pumping than loud noise (though maybe not as much as loud noise + extreme acceleration....but then most would find that loud noise to be annoying and not something you want to hear often). While speed in itself doesn't push the adrenaline out necessarily, acceleration does. As the human brain associates loud noise as something old and outdated and negative, I think the connection to adrenaline will dissipate (unless it's unexpected and then the adrenaline is a fear response, rather than excitement). But if you're one of those people who need loud noise to have fun, i'm sure you'll be able to have awesome sound systems in electric cars and you can simulate loud noise all you want on demand. I'll be listening to metal turned up to 11 while driving a modern car that's faster, simpler to fix, and cheaper to maintain. Electric FTW.
Really what's the point of these threads? Everything is going to go electric that can go electric. It's far more flexible (fuel independence) and cheaper to maintain and offers the best performance in the range people use their cars for on public roads. You can't fight it and win. There's a grocery list of of benefits under electric and a grocery list of negatives under ICE that wont ever go away. Just accept it and adapt. You'll have more fun.
