How do you deal with the underwhelming sound of an S2000?

Congrats!
Yes, I listened to mine a lot at first. I find the engine note a bit buzzy/whiney in traffic, but between 6-9K there's nothing quite like it.
I do wish the V8 and V10 cars had come to fruition, though. Yo VTEC!

You want the exhausts on the outside of the V - great for the left bank, the right bank...ahh...
So you flip the head 180º. Now you have a split camchain problem.
Far from straightforward.

I suppose the other bank of cylinders could fact backwards via some sort of gearing? I get a headache just thinking of what would be required to graft two S2000 I-4s into a V8.

You see the problem you have using two originally 4 cylinder heads, is manifold logistics.

It was the crank bearings he was struggling with last time I spoke to him.
