I think it was in a Larry Niven story once I read of someone in the future assembling a lawn mower to bring back the experience. Folks around them beat it to smithereens with sticks.

Apparently this is a thing.  Just today, hours before reading this, I was
chatting with a young sales person in a hardware store.  She was perhaps in
her mid-20s.  We talked about the store's electric mowers and then somehow
got onto EVs.  She said that the new EVs were OK, even interesting, but that
she'd never buy one.  Why not?  Because she'd miss the noise and the stink
of ICEs.  I guess she was serious.  She even specifically mentioned the
stench of unburned hydrocarbons.

It's a strange addiction, entirely beyond my ken, but there you have it.
