I've never heard the forward warning sound. Is it different from the reverse flying saucer sound? Do I need to roll down the windows and drive next to a solid wall to hear it?

Don't forget the sealing bushesI posted this in another thread, but figure I'd put it here as well:

. Tesla claims that "you just can't hear it"
Your comments are indeed, as a calculus professor used to insist on repeating "intuitively obvious".Stand near the front of the car and have someone engage the forward drive gear ("D"). You should hear the sound.
Perhaps stand beside the car, not directly in front of it, just in case …
The sound resembles white noise, a hissing sound.
You can also test the reverse sound by asking the person in the driver's seat to engage the reverse drive gear ("R"). It is louder and more conspicuous, perhaps because the speaker is in the front and needs to make more noise to alert somebody near the back.
Any chance you have some hearing loss? I do and I can't really hear the forward noise. But it's definitely there.Your comments are indeed, as a calculus professor used to insist on repeating "intuitively obvious".
As I live in the uSA, perhaps there is some difference, I can't hear it, the two Mobile Rangers who came out to so a couple of tasks can't hear it, but in communications with TESLA, "It is there, you just can't hear it".
My Dec 2021 delivered 2022 Model 3 is silent when moving forward from 1 to 10 mph.
I'm going to a service appointment next week at the local service center. While there, I want to see the guy there tell me with a straight face that he can hear it.
Meanwhile I have. My idea works exactly as described.A long time has passed, but two points have still not been discussed here.
I have not looked into it technically, but perhaps pulling the plug out only half-way may do the trick, possibly combined with a tiny amount of glue, so it does not fall out and hang freely, collecting dirt.
- Making the modification deniable, i.e. it should look as if the contact was not properly installed when the car was manufactured or as if it broke or worked itself loose during normal use.
- Making the modification such that it can very quickly and easily be reversed.
Has anybody looked into these details?
Neighbor of ours has a Hyundai EV. His makes the same sound going forward at low speed and backing up. Mine only does it while backing up. No sound while moving forward, no mater the speed, unless rattles count lol.I've never heard the forward warning sound. Is it different from the reverse flying saucer sound? Do I need to roll down the windows and drive next to a solid wall to hear it?
in the case of the pws speaker - no. i did this mod on my march 2020 build m3p and had zero issues. now ive a feb 2022 build m3p and this was the first thing i did. have had the car a week and no issues. i bought a little cap from abstract ocean that protects the exposed part on the pws speaker and the wire.Won't the car detect that there is no longer a "load" on the circuit?
My (december 2019 - delivered) 2020 model 3 does have the speaker. I am in Canada. The speaker might have been country-specific for a while.To the best of my knowledge, in March 2020 the Model 3 had no AVAS/PWS. There was no speaker.
The reverse sound is particularly irritating, and far louder than any ICE would be in reverse. Not like they require noisemakers for Rolls Royce’ even though those are quieter than most EVs even with their engines.After following this thread for a while I have one question. Why? You can't hear it from inside the car. Do you hate blind pedestrians? It only occurs at low speeds.
Just asking. For a friend.

I like to sneak up on kids, you know, just to scare them........After following this thread for a while I have one question. Why? You can't hear it from inside the car. Do you hate blind pedestrians? It only occurs at low speeds.

You can't hear it inside so who's it irritating to?The reverse sound is particularly irritating, and far louder than any ICE would be in reverse. Not like they require noisemakers for Rolls Royce’ even though those are quieter than most EVs even with their engines.
I’m not aware of any data showing there is a statistically significant difference in pedestrian collisions pre and post noisemaker. Curious if you have any such data.
