Glorious "Pops and Burbles"

I imagine there's a thread relevant to this somewhere, but it most likely died a long time ago. I'm just interested in seeing who all on this forum, like myself, find themselves turning down their stereo just to hear those amazing pops and burbles...I can't help myself from doing this every time I find myself not cruising on the highways

My apartment is located on the top of a hill...and there are 3 speed bumps on the way down...I turn my stereo completely off every time I'm leaving. And on the way in, after each speed bump, I let first rev to 3k before shifting just to get a few more pops on the shift

My neighbors must hate me...

I get a little pop and burble now with my Borla exhaust. It sounds great.

I often do that, especially while sitting in traffic with my windows down and driving near the wall. The wall makes the pops and burbles echo a bit!
