When I first got a RAV-4 hybrid, I had no idea that this sound was being pumped out of a speaker. I thought it was an artifact of the electric motor. As it happens, companies spend a lot of time designing their unique electronic sound as a signature of the vehicle. My dog has learned to recognize the sound and he barks when the car is as much as 1km away.
