Probably a heathenous take around here; but if an electric car can't sound like it's got a beast under its hood, I don't want to think about the noise a car is making. If you can't be muscle, be silent is my take on electric cars; I grew up on motor shows and drag strips. Electric whine just don't sound right.

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

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
