Anyway, I don't like the sounds in IL-2 either: the 109s all sound like motorbikes and the Spitfires and Hurricanes sound like Cessnas or something. I love the engine sounds in 'BoB'... when another fighter goes past, you really notice that.

I haven't been keeping up with IL-2, but as far as I remember you are strictly prevented from modding engine sounds and suchlike, unlike some other flight sims.
Modding IL-2 used to be problematic in the past, but it's pretty wildly accepted nowadays, and both complete sound replacement mods and proper Battle of Britain maps do exist for it.
