I do wonder what these electric car manufacturers think of sometimes. They give the cars random noises that I don’t associate with a car at all.

Just now there was one waiting to reverse out of a space as I was walking across the car park, but it sounded like a strange alarm so I was looking anywhere but the car. It wasn’t until I’d walked across and I saw it started reversing that it was the car making that noise.

@EighthLayer I remember some time ago a debate about how dangerously silent the electric cars actually are, especially at low speed.

Some manufacturers go for the annoying beepers, but they should really consider doing like Audi did with the engine sound enhancement thingie 😅

@thegamerstavern Yeah I get they need to make some noise, but I think it needs to be standard across all manufacturers so we start to associate it with EVs.

@EighthLayer @thegamerstavern Damn straight- I know people would think it is a bit counterintuitive or something but actual engine noises should be played at low speed I think. At least for a few generations, people have a hard wired instinct to immediately turn their attention to any loud revving noise.
