I just did a study and I have come to the conclusion, people need to start paying fucking attention. 🙂

A well maintained ICE car with the factory designed and fitted exhaust (excluding sports type models) are also fairly quiet these days; when out walking I find that a big part of the noise from both ICE and EV when travelling at normal road speeds is the road/tyre noise. In the UK EVs have to have an artificial noise at slow speeds or they would be mostly silent.

We don’t require slow speed noise like other markets. It is a good idea to add it.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had to use the car horn. I wish people would be more aware of their surroundings. Rather than focusing on the music coming from their earbuds.

Don’t know about their current laws but I can hear EVs and hybrids in EV mode driving past my work all the time if I am outside within 30 ft of the road. The weird spaceship sound many Toyotas and Kia/Hyundai’s make is noticeable.
