“ for a regular person who doesn’t care about V-8 engines or manual transmissions, there’s still an innate expectation that when you push the pedal, you hear an auditory response.” “As a car person, there are a lot of expectations for what a car should sound like,” says Ram Chandrasekaran, a transportation analyst at consultancy Wood Mackenzie. For automakers, it also compromises decades of marketing based on the alluring rumble of a revving engine, especially in sports cars and trucks.
That might sound like a blessing for city dwellers and others sick of traffic noise, but it can create added risk for drivers (who rely on engine noise to get a sense of their speed) and pedestrians (who listen for oncoming traffic). Because their motors have few moving parts, electric vehicles (EVs) are shockingly quiet.
