Electric cars have to make noise on purpose because otherwise it would be a silent car. And most of these noises are are weird futuristic WEEEE-00000 UFO sounds. Therefore I posit that we should be able to change the noises our electric cars make

EDIT: These suggestions are Top-Notch! Keep em coming!

    Also, if you can customise the sound, you can remove the sound, which would defeat the purpose of the regulations.

      You can remove the sound anyway. Some cars will throw an error if the speaker is missing, but you can buy hardware to fool it. Just a resistor with the right connector. Easy peasy. I’m pretty sure it’s not even illegal, it only has to be sold that way.

      Ever snuck up on someone in a seven thousand pound chungus-mobile? I have. It’s hilarious.

      It is my car. I should be able to do with it whatever I want!

      I can remove the airbag, but do I really want to do that?

      I can remove the exhaust (on an old car) and drive without it. It’s not efficient and not legal but I can do it. I won’t do it because if I get caught I have to pay a fine and I want a good car. Same for the sound. If I get caught, I’d have to pay a fine.

        Yeah maybe this is a problem. Maybe you should have actual reasons to not remove your exhaust beyond “I don’t want to pay a fine”

        Then you “can’t” do it by the same logic. Because it’s not legal.
