Endurance racing will always be a more challenging proposition for mainstream appeal than short 2-3 hour sprints. Being able to sit down for a couple of hours and get a winner is just much more attractive to most people. WRC suffers from the same issue even though it offers some superb driving.
I do however completely agree with you that the people who are hung up on engine noise are a very small but very vocal minority, and for the vast majority of fans the quality of the sound pales in comparison to the on track action. I like those old V10 noises as much as any other fan, but all I really care about at this point is getting back to smaller, nimbler cars. I don't really give a shit what they sound like.
