I hate noise pollution too but some people are blind.

  Right. And electric vehicle with AVAS emitters fitted are still much, much quieter than most combustion vehicles!

    Is that still actually true? Surely they're quieter than the average car from the 1970s, but the loudest sound you get from a lot of modern gasoline-powered vehicles at low speeds is the "whoosh" from air displacement, not the engine.

      Even modern combustion engines are still pretty noisy at low speeds compared to EVs. Especially when starting up or when revving to pull away at an intersection. At < 12 mph they’re not displacing enough air to make a “whoosh”! Diesel engines, endemic in Europe even in small cars, are particularly noisy.
