Not at city speeds they’re not. City streets with EVs are much, much quieter than ones filled with roaring combustion engines. There’s a reason why regulations require EVs to have noise emitters when moving at low speeds (but they’re still much quieter than combustion cars!)
Not to mention the benefits of cleaner air, and far less waste heat being emitted.
- rglullis 3y agoDid you see the video I linked or are you just playing a game of repeating your beliefs? Even electric cars at city speeds are above 75dbA, which may be of course less than a loud combustion motorcycle, but nonetheless already into "loud" territory.
- Reason077 3y agoLet me rephrase: in a real-world city environment, electric cars are very quiet compared to combustion cars. For one thing, unlike combustion cars, they are absolutely silent when stopped at intersections or in traffic! Of course they do still emit some noise when moving, and this noise increases with speed. But not enough to annoy you when you’re trying to sleep at night, or have a conversation with a friend. It is always combustion vehicles which do that! This isn’t my “beliefs”, but actual real-world experience of living in a busy, noisy city where there are large numbers of EVs.
