> the revving itself isn't inherently desirable

I'm not sure that is quite true. I like a deep rumbeling bass, anything from explosions, thunder, or music - I do however nok like higher frequency sounds, such as jet engines, or a 18k rpm F1 engine. A traditional large reving engine is like that low frequency sound.

> People like the revving noise for the same reason a ringing bell makes a dog drool.

But isn't that true for the vast majority of things we enjoy. People find different things beautiful, based on what they assosiate it with.
