Great vid with some historical context in the beginning.

Imagine going back to drive the 2.0 litre after this. RIP. Sorry for your loss Maz lol

The exhausts aren't quieter on later models unless you mean 2019+ due to the GPF in the catalytic converters. Pre 2019 the only thing that quietens the exhaust is the software update which came out around 2018-19 and has been applied to so many cars that have gone into the dealership. People beg the dealer not to apply it but sometimes they ignore/forget. The update is to close exhaust valves pre 4000rpm, lower the fuel into the exhaust for the pops and increase the life of the catalytic converters and O2 sensors in the process. I might be driving one of these v8s on the weekend which has the GPF and likely also with the software update so I'll see how it sounds compared to the v6 I drove last year.

Yes, I mean 2018/19+, as seen on the P450 V8 75 that I reviewed. It's not unique to JLR, all other manufacturers had to quieten their exhausts too
