An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

I believe I recall reading about one EV brand that was going to let customers ‘design their signature sound’ or something along those lines.
This was originally allowed in the USA, but NHTSA banned it: https://www.teslarati.com/nhtsa-wont-allow-evs-to-have-unlimited-or-custom-pedestrian-alert-sounds/. Otter countries might still allow it.
Otter countries are famously permissive.
I hear they even allow hand holding in public.
I’m not even going to fix that typo. We need more otter countries.
It’s the very definition of a happy accident.
I can see it making sense. If you’re blind and you hear the sound of a waterfall approaching you, you’re not going to immediately think “that’s a car.”
LoL, the best comment!
