Inline 6 engines are inherently smoother due to the cancellation of 1st and 2nd order harmonic noise cancellation.  But yeah, with diesel giving more mileage and fuel being a finite resource sooner or later everyone will have to get use to it, or drive an electric car where there will be zero noise unless the there is an interior sound generator that makes your Prius sounds like a Ferrari with Capristo exhaust <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
