I think whine is a function of shit building tbh.

but they do have some regulation in eu to make some sort of noise, tire rolling is very quiet, and low rpm electric is silent

EV "whine" that you can hear inside the vehicle is a factor of three things: pedestrian safety sounds, tire noise, and wind noise. The only street legal EVs in North America that have substantial whine are Koenigsegg hypercars with straight cut gears, not commuter vehicles.

In some cars, you can hear inverter noise under full 100% acceleration from low speeds, but most people aren't doing drag strip launches in the day to day unless they're obnoxious Tesla dudes.

Same in the us. Hybrids and electric cars, motorcycles, etc must emit noise above a certain dB requirement if it can go faster than like 20mph
