Is the Lexus RC F loud?

Is the Lexus RC F loud?
The Lexus RC F can be loud, especially when the powerplant tops 3,500 rpm. At this point, a rectangular vent in the air filter housing snaps open, and the car loudly announces its presence. Additionally, when the car is in sport mode, an actuator below the dash on the right side plays audio samples of engine and exhaust notes to match vehicle speed and throttle position, creating an “augmented sound” that blends with the natural engine noises to create a unique aural experience.
Installing a custom Armytrix valvetronic exhaust system can also make the RC F one of the loudest Lexus models, capable of producing loud noises, especially during a “cold start”.
However, it’s worth noting that the RC F doesn’t sound loud under normal driving conditions, and it is described as “Lexus-quiet” unless the throttle is heavily engaged and the tachometer is climbing past 3,500 rpm.
In summary, while the Lexus RC F has the potential to be loud, especially under certain conditions and with specific modifications, it is generally not considered to be loud during regular driving.
