I want “iconic sounds”
- Thread starter DadRS99

I know that everybody has different opinions and thoughts.... But the first thing I did when I test drove the i4 was turn off the insane noises. I absolutely love the silence of my car and do not want it any other way.

For the BMW, you can eat beans before you drive. Then you can get mimicking iconic sounds in the BMW. Just be careful, you may get more than sound.

Yeah, I always thought it odd that Tesla didn't implement any sort of driving sounds. I don't want sounds that mimic a combustion engine, which Tesla probably agrees with, but the "Jetsons" type of UFO sounds would be really cool.

Does the BMW also mimic the sound of the turn signals? 
I believe that the fart sounds were created as a middle finger of those that wanted Tesla to reproduce ICE engine sounds. Tesla tried other sounds with the boom box feature, but the US Government made them stop. NHTSA said that any sounds produced while driving could interfere with the PWS.

One of the nice things about an EV is the lack of engine noise. Why would you want to change that?
Showing my age, but when I was a kid there was a Christmas Toy all the kids wanted. Za Zoom had a very exciting TV ad geared to kids, unlike Chia Pet it was a one year wonder, but someone made a lot of money that year. Za Zoom looked like a little motorcycle engine and made engine noises when turned on. Christmas Day half the kids were ridding up and down the street making noise. For what ever reason I was not impressed by this toy, nor am I impressed by an EV making ICE noises.

Nope. There are fart sounds because Elon is a 13 year old boy.
There is always this;

Years ago I was surprised to learn that manufactures were adding engine noise to the inside of the vehicle. I owned a 2013 Fiesta ST and it used a snorkel from the intake to the inside of the cockpit. I understand that some of the high end vehicles pipe an engine sound through the stereo speaker system.

Milltek Sport is known for making exhaust systems, but now it will make your electric car sound like a fuel-guzzling performance machine.

Ford did that with our 2010 Mustang GT. It was removed to install a CIA that actually did something.There is always this;

Noise is an adverse byproduct that adds nothing to performance, and in many cases interferes with situational awareness.
Note: I have no intent of starting a philosophical discussion on the definition of noise. Although, I have no doubt someone will try

You can hear the engine inside the cabin of a BMW?
I thought all you could hear was a middle aged man shouting "Get out of my WAY!"

Now I'm wanting to get a test drive and hear it. I can't confirm nor deny that there may had or not had at one time in my life a playing card on my bicycle.
We show our MX at several car shows in the local area and there's been times I'll play a YT clip of starting up and reving an old dodge engine. With the FWD open the heads turn to see where this sound is coming from.

I love the quiet too but I miss the sound of my GT500. I think it would be fun to have as an optional toy for the interior speakers to play a similar sound keyed to the APP and speed including shift points. I like the fart sounds. Farts are always funny.
