Jaguar Demonstrates the Artificial, Safety-Minded Sounds Their Electric Cars Will Make
A futuristic whirring warns pedestrians of the car's approach
The noise of an internal combustion engine provides important feedback not only for drivers, but for pedestrians. For the vision-impaired pedestrian, the sound a car makes may be the only warning that it is approaching at all. Hence electric cars, which produce no engine noise at all, present a problem.
To solve this Jaguar is rolling out their Audible Vehicle Alert System, designed by sound engineers:
I still think consumers should be able to download EV sounds of their choice. Then again, perhaps people would abuse the technology and select obnoxious audio (farting noises, barnyard animals, engine sounds designed by Kanye, etc.).

Steam locomotive and sleigh bells are good ideas, but I want the Tie Fighter sound.
This needs a Steam Locomotive setting, with an option for a "six in hand" carriage and a holiday seasonal option with sleigh bells. Why stop the backward compatible design with fuel injected internal combustion transportation?
I want my EV to play unearthly sounds I've created on a synth.
Do current electric cars on the road not make a sound? The Prius and Teslas, etc?
