EV drivers are legally obligated to get an 18 inch sub and crank it.
Comment on How are engine sounds in racing games played ?
Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoI’ve had the thought of using a video game engine synth for electric cars. all of my neighbors have evs and they are so freakishly quiet and I’ve almost walked into them a few times when leaving through the alley while being a phone zombie

I remember there was the possibility in the talks to mandate some sound on EVs. I think Tesla wanted to use the sound of Blade Runner cars.

Most EVs actually play sounds already. Just older ones wouldn’t now. My brother set his to a spaceship sound.

wait you mean it’s configurable? I think its the tesla I can hear leaving if my worse hearing side isn’t facing that way because it makes that weird scifi hovering sound. The other neighbor’s car just sounds like an air filter on medium so most of the time it just blends with the wind

Yeah, on most models made in the last 5 years or so. Specifically for people with vision or partial hearing loss. But of course the ones that make fake engine sounds are also largely for the specific drivers those EVs are targetted at. They also tend to play them inside the cabin too.
