I always thought it was ironic that there was discussion of adding noise to electric vehicles.
I understand the need, for protection of those with sight impairment... but gosh, wouldn't be nicer to work toward a quieter environment?
Bit of irony... I just moved to a rural area... and thought it would be quiet. Turns out when it is quiet, all the sounds travel further... "you hear everything..." Of course the reality is that the total db level average is indeed lower.
