It's like mirrorless bridge cameras making the shutter noise when there is no shutter. People get conditioned to hearing a certain noise.

There are also folks who want keyless go cars to be banned because people leave them running in their garages and then die of CO poisoning.

Bikes don't make any noise at all...

David70 · 11-29-2016, 03:29 PM

BMW can now create the engine sound inside and outside of the cabin?

So, you know some manufacturer will offer the ability to customize this like a ringtone. Traffic jams in 20 years will basically just turn into dance parties.

They just need that high pitched 'gear' whine.

Our Rav4 hybrid already makes a weird noise.

MKSixer · 11-29-2016, 04:49 PM

Quiet if the new Loud.

The i8 already makes a very space-ship like noise.

Well. Science-Fiction spaceship on IMPulse drive or some other sub-light drive. I said some other sub-light drive because that's what we all have.
Sub-light engines.
