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!

    I’d argue the sound should be standardized across all models. It needs to be immediately recognizable to nearby pedestrians.

      Yeah it’s like saying that you think we should be able to customize our headlights to show the bat signal or something.

      Like people die because of this shit, I frankly could not care less about what you wish your car sounded like.

      Yes, because that is actually the purpose of those sounds. Not to sound “cool” but to warn pedestrians the otherwise nearly silent car may be moving.
