Fake Engine Noises in Electric Vehicles: A Rundown

The advent of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought with it a new trend: the inclusion of fake engine noises. These noises are designed to simulate the sound of a traditional gasoline engine and are typically played through the car’s speakers. While some EV manufacturers have embraced this practice, others have chosen to let the silence of their vehicles stand out. There are two main categories of fake engine noise in EVs: those that aim to emulate real engines and those that create a more futuristic experience. While some argue that these noises enhance the driving experience and simulate the feeling of driving a gas-powered car, others view them as unnecessary and a sign of a lack of innovation in the EV industry.
