The noise heard is usually only on the Hybrid models to alert nearby people that an electric (silent) vehicle is backing up. From what I understand, you cannot disable it or modify it

Yup you can disable but its not legal in the US:

Because it sounds like shit & its a free country
I guess laws are for idiots? Should be able to do whatever you want I guess? Seem like a reasonably dumb idea. But I guess since it's a free country I can tell you that's the dumbest thing I've ever read on this forum. But you do you, it's a free country.

Legal for a price, cry more if you don't like it

I'm not crying about anything, just amazed at how many patriots ignore laws or ignore those who break laws.

The "problem" with changing it to "whatever" is it needs

TO SOUND LIKE A VEHICLE IN MOTION not just sound like any old sound.

What if a train sounded like a baby crying? Or a dog barking?

Really, truly, the mandate should be every EV shall sound the same or remarkably similar, so you, me, your mom, and the blind kid ALL know WHAT they are hearing.

It's amazing 2 pages and 22 posts.
And the OP "first_MP" hasn't been online since Thursday to answer the basic question.
Why do they want to disable it?

The "reason" is "change is hard" to get accustomed to.

You never went above the speed limit or failed to come to a complete stop too? You can do whatever you want as long as you can afford the ticket, thats the truth about this country

So how much is a ticket for killing a blind pedestrian while backing a silenced HEV there in Edmonton?

I guess if you got enough money you don't have to worry about stuff like that.

Here's a thought: Look before you back up, and if you see a person anywhere near your car, honk your horn.

That said, sighted people will see a car backing up and keep right on walking towards it too, anyway.

Its legal in Canada so $0, non-issue but IF this were to occur and IF I were American, I'd go home and disconnect the MegaOhm and reconnect the speaker.. so STILL a non-issue: Welcome to real life pal

My question is, when can we modify it and add in different sounds. I mean if it has to have a sound, why can't it be like ringtones? A turn of the century steam engine bell? The Jetson's spaceship? Imperial March? Top Gun theme?
Because I'm sure the regs on the sound.
