  Outside the car the tires make quite a lot noise.

  You realize the cabin audio is background audio in that video -- edited to be much lower volume than the foreground narrator, right? Like, how about I share a video of a hellcat 0-60 but turn down the audio to 1% and call it quiet?

Relatively speaking an EVs 3s 0-60 is ~silent compared to any ICE doing the same 0-60 time. That level of acceleration generally requires a pretty rowdy ICE with the taps wide open.

  Yup, an Audi RS3 for example, is not quite when doing that at all...

  Honestly, as someone who bikes all the time, there's very little difference at 50km/h from the amount of sound coming from an EV vs an ICE.

This is about the acceleration from 0-60 in 3 seconds. Because of how quietly a fast EV can perform this feat, the argument is that it's encouraging bad/antisocial driving behavior in general. When an ICE does that sort of 0-60 time the whole neighborhood hears about it. That alone has a moderating effect on most drivers behavior even if their ICE vehicle is capable of it.

      you're not silent by the time you hit 60 even if it feels that way in the car. It makes a significant amount of noise at 30mph

It makes a significant amount of noise at 30mph Everything's relative, and relative to an ICE automobile executing a 3-second 0-60 time, an EV doing the same is silent. Silent enough to make the driver far more likely to do it and convince themselves they're doing it without being antisocial. But at this point you're just willfully ignoring the correctness of that statement and I'm basically talking to a piece of sheetrock.
