Engine blowing sound

I just drove an is250 and the engine sounded kind of loud like a blower. Not so loud, but not quiet like I typically expect Lexus to sound.
is this normal? I'm told there's no issue. It's not on high rpms

Would need a video. It's probably normal.

Maybe lower Fsport airbox, or 3IS intake sound generator. Pics of the airbox, and engine would be nice.

Was a test drive and didn't end up getting the car anyway. Got a different one that felt brand new.
