Why Is The 2015 V8 Quieter at High Speeds?

Saw this review of the new V8:

"The one thing I missed was the old V8's engine sound. This time, the 5.0-liter V8, though properly throaty at a stop light, turns a little whispery at high speeds. Not a bad sound but different. I miss menacing rumble of the older car."

Anyone know why this would be? Just curious. Sure love the sound of my 2014 GT!

Tom

I know Ford stated they wanted the cabin noise to be better in the 2015 than the outgoing models. Maybe they went a little too far. Nothing a new set of pipes won't fix.

Stock exhaust is irrelevant anyway, either your A) guy that buys a car, never modifies anything, and keeps it all stock, or B) guy that will either way buy aftermarket system either Axle-back or Cat-back, because stock exhaust is always weak. ( few exemptions here and there ex. : Hellcat)

When I'm on my cell phone I don't see the subscribe button, so the reason for posting so I can follow along. Is there a setting somewhere while using the cell phone that I can subscribe without cluttering up with a useless post such as this one?
