Looking forward to the cacophony of low-speed warning sounds in rush hour traffic! Perhaps it will be disabled by geofence on freeways by that time.

- vel0city 2y agoYeah because ICE cars are entirely silent. I'll take the low-speed EV sounds over how loud most ICE cars are pretty much any day.
- xattt 2y agoICEs operate on a range of frequencies, so it blends into a form of “white noise”. Cars from the same manufacturer typically have the same LSWA that stays at a single tone and might change in pitch only slightly with speed. The spectrum covered by LSWAs is more concentrated to be audible to humans, so there will be convergence or an additive effect at certain frequencies. This will sound terrible.
- vel0city 2y ago> This will sound terrible Highways already sound terrible. Cars are already loud. EVs, even with low speed warning sounds, are quieter than most ICE vehicles. I'm around quite a mixture of EVs and ICE vehicles every day. The ICE ones are generally way louder.
