Sounds normal to me. Had invidia n1 dual. Super duper loud and droney. Added a tp to clean up drone and boom. It did some but made it raspy as hell. Took it off next day.

It doesn't. You just lose hearing after time.

When you lose part of your hearing, the whole world tends to quiet down a lot. Then when you get old, you spend $5K for hearing aids so you can hear those loud exhausts again.
