I’ll agree when your in a car or on another bike you don’t hear them but your focus is more on road anyway (well should be)
Pedestrians can be off in la la land skipping down the road dreaming of fairies until Gav 110 comes roaring up in the V8 110 (or a biker on a Harley Davidson) then you watch them jump
Loud exhausts do save lives!!!

That's a completely different scenario, you're outside, your ears are in the direction of the bike coming and the idea has nothing to do with pedestrians, the term refers to saving motorcyclist lives.
Only thing that will save riders lives is the rider and other vehicle drivers paying attention, but mostly the rider being aware of his surroundings
How are you Gav, still riding.
Cheers Baz.
