a. the very nature of their direction, they are pointing out the back.
b. the Doppler effect.
Yeah, at slow speeds (like parking lot speeds) an audible bike might be marginally more noticeable than a completely silent one but the idea that a stock bike and a bike with straight-through are radically different outside of being annoying as fuck is asinine. You do it because you want to be loud, nothing more.
