Please just give us some cool tones and let us choose or upload our own so this can become cool and backfire on the ICE lobby. I am requesting “KITT scanner”, “Kickstart my heart”, “Falcon Heavy, both”, “HD V twin”, “AC/DC Hell’s Bells”, “Shake Weight”, “a rooster”, “a big dog”, “a small dog”, “Flash Gordon theme” (my car’s name is FLASHHH) & “chirpy birds” like on the car wow channel.

Would rather just have a mic hooked to the speaker, so I could speak to pedestrians.
Watch out...Tesla coming through...Look for the car...Excuse me...Could you move over, just a little so I can get by...Back on the curb, please...Put down your phone and look where your're walking...

Taycan sounds so much better. Tesla needs up it's sound design game

I can barely hear mine from inside. And I like the backup noise. Forward noise is good in a parking lot.
I think the whole concept is ridiculous and unnecessary as I can distinctly hear the tire noise of any Tesla moving at low speed, but those sounds aren’t as bad as I imagined they’d be.

It would be best to unplug the speaker and substitute a resistor. It's value likely needs to be 4-8 ohms so that the car thinks it's still there and doesn't report a fault to Tesla who someday might be required to repair it. Somebody needs to find the impedance of the speaker. It's not as simple as checking with an ohm meter. It might be marked on it. Ostensibly it was required for blind pedestrians but it probably was also pushed by the legacy auto makers.

That is obnoxiously loud in reverse. And forward is just some strange static sound? Really odd choice. Luckily Tesla can control it all through the software so hopefully they tweak it a bit and maybe lower the decibels a few notches.
The same blind pedestrians that have more acute hearing than sighted people? The industry is trying to convince the masses that EV's are completely silent, which isn't true. You can still hear tire noise. But many modern ICE vehicles are just as quiet idling or driving below 19mph. Maybe they should have noise makers too. How about bicyclist as well?
I haven't seen what studies legislators are relying on to justify EV pedestrian noise makers. Seems like it's just another thing to raise the price of EV's, which in turn increases the taxes on them. But I'd bet far less blind pedestrians are involved in EV related accidents, than pedestrians playing with their phones.
