Never mind what you guys THINK you know about aircraft you haven't flown. Get this reaction from a WWII BoB pilot:

Me: Could you hear other aircraft from inside the Spit cockpit?

KW: No. [Looked at me a little strangely as if he really wanted to say, of course not, what a silly question. [So flyby sounds within closed cockpit need to be disabled or at least made optional in the realism menu.]

Note also his comments about warmed engines btw (sorry, OT)
