I can name a few good reasons:
1- New engines are cutting on displacement as the emission regulations get tougher. So almost all of the new cars have turbo engines in order to make up for the lost displacement. And Turbo's don't generate great noise as their atmospheric counterparts.
2- New models have extremely good sound insulation, and that also prevents you from hearing the engine noise in the cabin.
