Electric cars are now required to make noise at low speeds so they don’t sneak up and kill us | The Verge
This is to prevent these vehicles from injuring pedestrians, especially people who are blind or are visually impaired.

Are hybrid vehicles too quiet? | Boston.com
NHTSA says the ruling is “to help pedestrians who are blind or have low vision detect the presence, direction, and location of these vehicles,” perhaps because the American Council for the Blind lobbied for the regulation.
However, this should be a big assist to all pedestrians who use our roads.
May point din naman si ice about sa electric. Kasi sa mga scootings yan kinakatakutan ko mga electric pag sumulpot, pati na din mga nagbibisikleta napapa my gawd ako pag nagovertake mga yan nagfefeeling tour de france. Eh ako nagbibike din pero ingat pang pedestrian lang speed ko mabilis lang sa nagjojogging. Meron din busina bell yung bike ko kaya pag palapit na ako sa kanto eh nagpapatunog ako.
Pero mas pangit talaga maingay sasakyan lalo na diesel. Isipin nyo lang paano kung nakatira kayo sa nauusong makulob na townhouse yung tapatan ang style. Puro vibration yun inside the compound. Tapos puro SUA montero pa nakatira. hahahahahah
Yung mga gasoline engine simula na electronic fuel injeted eh tahimik yan pag idle. Pag umaarangkada naman meron low engine ungol yan na hindi masakit sa tenga na rinig kahit papano ng pedestrian.
So kung kung icocompare gaso, diesel and electric eh gaso ang balance. Pero syempre gusto ko magka electric. heheheheh.
Yes there is a minimum sound requirement for electric cars because they are too quiet to be heard by pedestrians, cyclists, the blind and others. Now for cars with combustion engines i am not so sure

i prefer low engine noise while driving. and low engine noise also means low cabin noise which is good especially when you have a good SQ car audio set up.

For me, I prefer low to no engine noise. Specially that I drive on a daily basis. I am really sensitive with any noise. Feeling ko everytime na may noise related sa car ko may sira or something.
Nung una akong magkakotse pinapalitan ko agad ng muffler ltapos pina headers ko rin. Nung una tuwa ako kasi uso eh kaso tuwing umuuwi kami ng probinsya nag rereklamo yung kapatid ko kse ang ingay daw sakit daw sa ulo kse hindi sya makatulog sa byahe. 12 hours ka nga naman nasa byahe tapos ang ingay ng oto. after 3 years binenta ko na kse pati ako sumasakit na rin ulo ko sa ingay. Hehehe
For me mas gusto ko tahimik na sasakyan. Busina na lang pag may pedestrians. Yun naman ang purpose ng busina kaya nilagay yan sa sasakyan. Kung bisikleta at motor nga may busina.
