I don't take your question to be rhetorical, but please forgive me if it was.Doesn't tickle my fancy, but if it gets more old-school car enthusiasts into EVs then what's the harm?
You mean like BMW?car manufacturers spend millions on famous movie score composers to make fake engine noises.
I second this. It’s annoying!!!! Literally people are gunning it. How is this even allowed it’s annoying. I love cars but I also like quiet when I’m trying to sleep.I don't take your question to be rhetorical, but please forgive me if it was.
Yesterday (Saturday) I was on a ladder staining my deck and multiple times was startled at the sound of loud roaring V8s on a nearby through street. It's unnerving, stressful, disruptive, and disturbs the peace.
If I stood on the public sidewalk in front of your house with a bullhorn making Jim Carrey's "the most annoying sound in the world", nobody would be okay with that... yet somehow we've normalized screaming V8s.
These artificial engine sounds aren't going to emulate the sound of a Toyota Camry, they're going to make the loudest, most disrespectful, small-penis sound available.
I very much appreciate how quiet EVs are... that anyone wants to add aftermarket sounds *just* for the sake of noise is disappointing. I suggest EV owners keep those sounds *inside* their cars... because the people outside of their cars definitely don't want to hear it.
The Thor dual can system can go up to 95 dB which is quite loud (as loud a C63 AMG). The cans are high quality titanium. You can adjust volume, burbles. You can download the app and go into demo mode to check out the functions.I've seen quite a few videoes on hansshow, enginevox and thor and I would like to hear if anyone here has any feedback or personal experience with these systems. How is it like to drive with these systems and do they feel just a little bit like realistic? I don't expect them to be nothing like the real deal
I am amazed at all the hate on this post and how it's turned into an ICE car sound annoyance discussion... what gives?
The Thor dual can system can go up to 95 dB
This is what gives:
This is like the loudest Harley roaring past your front door. We're talking about *external noise* here. It's purpose is for the driver to exert their "power" upon all within earshot.
I got an idea... how about *every* EV owner gets one of these things. Let's crank them all up to 95 dB and see how much fun it is. /s
Likely this would help bring about laws against them.

If people want to use these in a designated area (e.g. race track), fine by me. Otherwise, I'd be happy to cast my vote for making these illegal on public roads.
LOL the "woo woo" title was I needed to know what's up! Love you Oaktown!
