The hybrid fake engine sound is annoying, thank goodness there's a fix

Switchified proof of concept. Don't ask me about it, this was pulled from the dark web and shared anonymously with me, likely from leaked classified CIA materials. I can't imagine how many patriots died to get access to this video. RIP

That fake engine sound is a mandated safety feature (just like the backup alarm) to alert the blind and if you happen to hit one (even if not your fault) with it disabled you could held solely) responsible for ALL their medical and legal. Your insurance company would have their way out of paying anything.

Yup, not to mention the victim's lawyer will have a field day with you in court on the civil side. Hello punitive damages.

And it's not just for blind people. Children and really any pedestrian or biker who doesn't happen to be looking right at your vehicle.

I think I've said it before and I'll say it again. Unless you have bat ears, the sound is almost inaudible in the cabin. It's selfish and dumb to try to disable it

Did you forget which sub-forum you were in? That's an American mandated safety feature, Canada is still working on making one

The Americans are just .... different. What's striking is how deathly afraid they are about being sued. If an accident occurred, common sense would dictate they would look at MANY other variables before even thinking about if the hybrid made noise or not.

You could buy an EB with "real" engine noise all the time. Of course, this forum would be of less interest to you because about 75 percent of the problems discussed seem to be Hybrid model related..... Sorry hybrid owners, just calling it as I see it.

Ya because I love sounding like a 1990 Honda Civic with a fart can attached.........lol

I'd prefer a module which allows you to add your own sounds- a repeating loop of the first few bars of "Tom Sawyer" would be epic LOL.

I'm an eb owner, but only time will tell if it stays that way

Never forget- 50 percent of all people have below average intelligence.

I would leave it on. What is the problem with it making a small noise when it goes forward for safety?

Why did you think deaf people were a factor?

How does he know they are deaf? Are they wearing a "I am deaf" sandwich board? Maybe he can tell when they are reading lips. A thought = if someone is speaking a foreign language does the deaf person take a video of the lip movement and the cell phone translates it and shows it on the screen?

Any decent attorney would ask the maverick driver to prove his backup beeper was working and to prove it.
