Electric cars have to make noise on purpose because otherwise it would be a silent car. And most of these noises are are weird futuristic WEEEE-00000 UFO sounds. Therefore I posit that we should be able to change the noises our electric cars make

EDIT: These suggestions are Top-Notch! Keep em coming!

    The only EVs that I’ve encountered (and knew they were EVs) are delivery vans. Other than those and other commercial/industrial vehicles, I’ve never heard a backup siren.

      The ones I’ve heard on personal EVs (and hybrids) are nowhere near a siren. They’re quieter and a steady tone/sound. I’m struggling to remember which are low speed forward sounds and which are reverse sounds because they’re similar.

        It was kinda strange visiting family in San Diego earlier this year and hearing all the cars drive by with their “oohs” and “ahhs”
