Best example could be the Tempest/Typhoon, which was notoriously loud inside.
The same goes to quite alot of others.
The whole idea of this soundmod is to simulate what a pilot would hear with his helmet on. Cockpit were noisy, pilots were cautious.
Own aircraft sounds only when airborne, not too loud, little treble, much bass. Explosions only very near and faint, but louder impact. Windnoise that tells you what speed you're flying (high or low), you cetainly now know when your cockpit is open, and so on.... it is by no mean perfect, but in many aspects much much better than Oleg's. The few glitches one still finds were left mostly because author is tired after one year's work, please bear with those and take some time to find all the plusses before the minusses turn you off, i'm sure a warm welcome will help get things extra polished in the future.
Well, as you say; cockpits were noisy, pilots were cautious.
Indeed, they were cautious, but I find it hard to believe, that for that era (1938-1946), the methods of sound-damping where so great, that you almost cannot hear a 1200+ HP engine inside your cockpit, only a few inches away from your feet, thundering at full power..
So, in that regard, i'd like to have my in-cockpit engine volumes just a littlebit louder - also because the contrast between internal and external sounds is just huge with this mod.
And if there is a way to adjust this, I'd love to hear about it. Just - as you say - to get things extra polished in the future.

I'm highly aware that a mod of this magnitude has been extremely time consuming, and that i've been nitpicking on so much hard work.
I think it'll be a debate without end, just as many have been in the IL2 world. Even if my point is valid or not.
But in the end, all I can speak of, is an enormous amount of gratitude for bringing up the time and patience to deliver us such a highly anticipated gem. 8)
