Not scientific, but literally just stand next to a road. A normal car driving at speed makes a “whoosh” noise, not a “vroom” noise.

- cassianoleal 3y agoYeah I have no issues hearing an ICE vehicle coming from behind me when I'm on my bike. OTOH I have had many scared sudden encounters with an EV coming into my field of view. Tyres on the road are white noise and barely noticeable. I don't know if they're louder than engines in terms of decibels as I've never measured either, but engines are definitely much more of a nuisance.
