Because the sound is being drowned out by all the blood in your ears.

Seriously though, it probably doesn't sound stock at all, but instead the noise becomes less evident above above 4k. 3-4k RPM is the 'drone zone' with after market exhausts for our cars.

Post a video, but I bet it's still plenty loud.

Test pipe will probably make the drone more "tinny." Ricer exhausts are all like this.
