If you hear the engine, then it is a design problem. Higher perforance engines are obvious - they make less noise. That's why they have higher performance.

Those who known nothing about cars like to advertise the fact. They are most notorious in 5.0 liter Mustangs - one of the world's lowest performance cars - made obvious by the noise of the engine.
