Avengers movie adds gas engine sound to Audi's e-tron in product placement fail
- burfog 7y agoThey mention laws. It's infuriating that we're legislating in a requirement for noise pollution. The driver is already responsible for not running people down, including deaf people and people listening to music.
- brenschluss 7y ago> The driver is already responsible for not running people down, including deaf people and people listening to music I know! If only the driver wasn’t responsible, society would be so much better!
- rtkwe 7y agoSilent cars are more dangerous to blind or otherwise impaired people and just general makes it easier for people to notice cars it's a complement to driver awareness.
- Doxin 7y agoMost of the noise a car makes at residential speeds is tire noise, modern ICE engines are startlingly quiet already.
- whenchamenia 7y agoI agree. As an ICE holdout, even modern combustion engines are usually quieter than the tire on pavement sound. I doubt the complaint of 'silent electric killers' holds any real weight.
- jonplackett 7y agoI watched this today and noticed that. Thought it was weird. Presumed it must be a Hybrid. #FAIL
- mrguyorama 7y agoI don't think it was gas engine sound as much as "Future car sound". I don't think it has an idle sound or anything similar
- mrosett 7y agoconspiracy hat: I wouldn't have heard or noticed that the amazing, silent Audi e-tron is in the new Avengers movie if they hadn't incorrectly added noise.
- KorematsuFred 7y agoCar should be silent inside and a little noisy outside so that blind and animals can be alerted easily
- powerbroker 7y agoThe only sound, that I, the driver of a grey electric car, will tolerate, is the deep bass sounds of the Theme from Jaws.
