I think this depends a lot on the rider and their level of experience (just like it does with drivers). Modern ICE cars are so quiet (to the point that many cabins feature ANC to help mask engine noise) that you'd never be able to hear a whining belt or misfiring spark plugs, and perhaps not even squeaking brake pads. Bikes are similar but the rider is much more directly connected; even so, many riders are pretty oblivious to how they work or how to fix problems.
- alphabettsy 1y agoI don’t think automotive anc is typically that sophisticated. It plays certain fixed frequencies based on speed, load, etc. You can still hear mechanical issues especially higher frequencies which aren’t masked at all and a misfire typically causes a noticeable roughness, but that would be detected by the computer is most instances.
