It is beautiful at higher revs but the deep drone at low rpm medium load bothers me. I keep my Z in the garage and my wife said Saturday it "shakes the house when you start it up". It's funny, when I was younger there was no such thing as too loud.
Give it a few weeks. It quiets down a lot (at low revs). I also find that the start up is not always the same. Sometimes it is louder then other times. I am trying to pinpoint the reason for it. I think it as to do with ambient temperature of the air (thus the engine during cold starts), but I am not sure yet.
