Is anyone disappointed with how our cars sound?

I think your expectation is a bit too high. This is a sports sedan and a significant number of owners are female. I think Lexus knew and chose to go this half way. They could certainly make it louder. IMO though I do like the thick sound it generates when pushed in S+, esp with the old 6 gears. On the other hand Joe Z is good choice if one needs more noise. Couple of members seem pleased with that product.

Think of the sound as the mod Lexus skimped on. With Audi, as example, A5 sounds like our base trim, S5 like our FSport, and like an RS5 with Sport Exhaust with the JoeZ installed. Just scratch the itch, I think I lasted 45 days before I had springs, exhaust, etc, etc.
Do it. Zero regret.

I second this, good way to put it. I was nervous it would sound rice-y, not even close. Axle-back is great because no drone while driving. Cruising speeds you forget it's there, quiet. Need to pass someone? Put your foot into it and it will growl their *** off.
