no matter how quiet a Model T engine was, imagine how bad your ears would be damaged if you drove one from New York to Seattle, with open exhaust ports
you caused me to wonder, and look at the videos that I've posted of the Beast of Turin, and I don't see anyone wearing earplugs! Not the crew that gets the motor running for spectators, nor the driver or co-driver! https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-beast-of-turin-finally-runs-at.html see the last video for example. By the way, I see that there ARE exhaust pipes that the Beast occasionally uses, that take the sound and exhaust down, to below the chassis in a BIG pipe style muffler https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2024/06/a-comparison-of-beast-of-turin-with-any.html
Can you imagine the old " Beast of Turin " they must have used earplugs driving that old car .
