Are EVs too quiet

[fnegroni]

your hearing is truely remarkable; because my intuition told me and a Google search confirmed that...



But maybe Ben has rap music blaring out at 120dB ?

Curiously when we had our Cocker and Beagle both reacted to our EVs, now we are down to our beagle he goes ape shit when he’s aware of the car approaching the house, don’t know why unless the wee Bollox has hacked the Apple tag on his IPhone.

BASSAD!!!

There was an article somewhere that I read about them trying different sounds to see which was the preferred choice ..... they settled on a Jetson's saucer air computer sound, but observes noted that the ones who actually did hear it, looked up, not around them for an approaching vehicle .....

I like the stealth approach to someone who clearly isn't paying attention to their surroundings, get close enough it feels like the car is about to touch them, then hit the horn ...... rabbit in the headlights comes to mind and after they land, return home for fresh undies, I feel they will pay a lot more attention in the future .... either that or I'm installing a few dash cams so I can record the event from multiple angles and start a You Tube channel ..... "do you recognise this muppet?"

When my ancient FC Holden surfwagon, only had the handbrake working on one back wheel, It was very easy to look up that back wheel and make a lovely squealing sound.
Just right for the person crossing the road without looking. With any luck it cured them for life.
