Easy, you just drive slower and gently accelerate the car and then it will be far quieter.

In a perfect world we could all be as loud as we wanted all the time and it wouldn't hurt anyone, but people racing up and down residential streets wakes people up and there is data that shows traffic noises reduce your life expectancy.... So I have to side with the sound restrictions here. Your freedom to be obnoxiously loud ends when it objectively negatively impacts public health.
