Anyone here prefer a quiet bike?

I hate quiet bikes. If I wanted to hear a sewing machine I would take up sewing. Plus most of my miles come in the form of racing. And being able to hear the exhaust helps me with the feel. Dunno why I just feel more at home. And like to hear whomever is behind me, if someone is getting close enough to make a move.
As for the cops thing. Riding like a tard creates a fair amount of noise even on a stock exhausted bike. So it may be a little easier to be stealthy that way. But the only real solution to that is to ride chill
