In fact, one could make the case you're going to get more noise because vehicles will be within earshot for longer.

This is so far from true. For the majority of passenger cars, you're hearing more air and tire noise than engine/exhaust.
Go hang out at a park near Deerfoot and notice how bloody loud cars cruising along at 1500 rpm are. Speed is absolutely a huge factor.
