So I have kind of a silly question. I have never driven an RS model but some time ago while I was in waiting for a service on my Q7, I happened to have heard a 2018 two door RS5 get started up inside my dealers showroom. It was really a loud exhaust. My question is this.... in its most "tame" driving mode (comfort), does the exhaust on the new 2019 RS5 Sportback quiet down a bit? I have driven the A5 Sportback many times as loaners and I am mulling around the idea of switching to a RS or S5 Sportback for something much more fun to drive. It would be my "daily" and I do not want to be "that guy" in my neighborhood that everyone hates driving through. Do not get me wrong, I would love the glorious sound of a sport exhaust when I want it, but also would like to be able to tone it down. Curious on owners (or the few dealers here) thoughts. Thank you!!

comfort mode is pretty quiet, I can't imagine any neighbors ever complaining about it. honestly even in dynamic mode with the valve open, I doubt anyone will complain about that either. The RS5 sport exhaust is very subdued.

The startup is always loud but then gets pretty quiet once warmed up. R8s are also most deafening in the showroom and then once warm they are super quiet.

okay...cool. Thats good to hear. I have to leave the house at least once a month on Sundays at around 4am, and would hate to be a burden to the neighbors. Thank you!
