Electric cars have to make noise on purpose because otherwise it would be a silent car. And most of these noises are are weird futuristic WEEEE-00000 UFO sounds. Therefore I posit that we should be able to change the noises our electric cars make
EDIT: These suggestions are Top-Notch! Keep em coming!
It would be about the same. Above 25mph or so, the road noise is louder than combustion engines (unless you intentionally make the engine louder)
Whoo whoo!
Classic!
I meant in everyone was able to change their engine sound after reading the comments
I think they knew what you meant. They’re saying that once a car is going fast enough you won’t be able to hear the chosen sound anyway, just the wheels on the road and the air being pushed by the car.
At least for my EV and in my state, it’s only required to simulate a noise up until a certain speed - 30mph, I think. I guess after that they assume you’re in a non pedestrian area or the car is making enough noise that it wouldn’t matter anyway.
It’s typically 19 mph (30 km/h)
Mmmm i disagree then
I live next to a large road in a city and can verify that cars are loud as fuck even without external speakers making customized car ringtones.
