As for no one asking for sound improvements


 * McLaren asked them to fix the sound, and McLaren's engineers worked with FM to get the MP4/4 right.
 * The European Union - The changes in volume are in order to comply with regulatory requirements. That they fixed it for the cars and not for the intro screens is because, well, monkeys.
 * Look at their Facebook posts, there are always a number of requests for fixes to sound in the game. The Huayra ended up sounding like the Furai from the middle of 2017. The '66 Shelby had a turbo charger overlaid in the sound file, when the real life car had a fully aspirated V8 and not turbocharger.
 * When cars with metal bodies collided there was the distinct sound of shattering Carbon Fiber?! It still isn't perfect, but the new thunks at least sound more realistic.
 * You have no idea what type of requests and suggestions people submit officially through the EA help desk. So saying no one asked for it is talking out of your ass.
 * One thing that they didn't fix is when there is a significant collision, there is still the sound of a hub cap rolling off into the distance... The F14 T has hub caps? For all you kids that grew up with Mags, hub caps used to fit over the wheel hub, covering the lug nuts, and they inevitably flew off with a distinctive sound when you hit a pothole going slightly over the speed limit. Racecars and most modern, late model cars do not have hub caps.
