I used to have a Superformance cobra replica with a monster 600HP engine in it. I ran street drag radials that were extremely sticky, but made no noise when they let go of the road. Made things interesting to say the least. So, I don't necessarily think its about the low grip tires making no noise, as these things had my skin stretching one way or the other around corners and in acceleration. The cars talks to you in many other ways though. One guy used to say that he could here his cobra whisper "This time, I am gonna kill you" every time he took it out.
