Tire noise, mainly produced by the vibration of the tire wall, becomes the prime component in the noise production of 'regular' combustion fueled vehicles as well when you go >35km/h. In terms of noise, an electric versus a combustion car doesn't make much of a difference outside very low and in practice almost never driven speeds.
When we are talking noise terrorists with car mods added specifically to pollute the audiosphere, that is different ofc.
- nasmorn 8y agoYou mean motorcycles? I cannot understand how any stock motorcycle can be as loud as a completely modded car and be street legal to the detriment of everyone else.

- PeterStuer 8y agoYou mean in the 'loud pipes save lives" sense? That is just the same as saying "When I go for a drink, I'll first poison everyone in the bar to reduce the chance of someone attacking me"
- PeterStuer 8y agoIt is fairly easy to make modern engines, even when housed on motorcycles, and most certainly when mounted in cars, relatively quiet. A lot if not most of the modern car's engine noise is now made deliberately. Special noise chambers are added to amplify and shape the sound, acoustic isolation is foregone in design, and even in some cases engine noises are actually produced by speakers mounted on the vehicle.
