Honestly, I have never understood the charm of engine noise, but I guess I'm in the minority.

No videos will replicate the feeling and emotion of the sound of a roaring V8+ engine. It's like the difference between watching Glastonbury and being there.

To me, the when a race car produces so much sound, it give you the feeling/impression that the engine is working at the absolute raw mechanical limit. You also feel the noise physically through your body.

It's a visceral experience - an assult on your senses.

Here are some video that might give you an idea.

There's also this video, albeit not an F1 car. Demonstrates what you're talking about, as best a video can in my opinion.
