It is no problem making turbo engines loud, but it has to do with the exhaust system.
It is much better to cranc up the power on the current v6 to 1200 hp instead to make the cars really fast.
Less wing and real groundeffect cars with moving skirts like Brabham bt49.
And I actually like the V6 sound much better than the screaming v8.

Add a more powerful KERS and a real heat ERS if you want (no turbine please).
Why not a KERS-fed electric compressor for the low revs? Why not try thermoelectricity for the heat ERS...
Let the teams work on the batteries and super-capacitors...
Want to reduce drag? why not try to reduce radiator size... think about fans or refrigeration techniques or thermoelectricity etc.
That's how you keep the sound and the weight and even the costs under control. With a 645kg/755hp (close to the recent V8 era) we'd have at least a similar weight/power ratio as today but we would have much more room for innovation, cost reduction, safety imporvements, weight reduction etc.
Turbos are cool but these PU suit LMP1 cars (and real world cars) much better...
F1 dosnt need to copy everything they do. It should show them the way but should go a distinct way in the same time. Let them work on the turbos, dear F1, and follow your own way.
