Noiseless
Electric vehicles are noiseless – & that’s a problem. A Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) is needed so we step out of the way. EU & US rules require new electric cars to emit an audible sound at <18.6 mph. At higher speeds, the car’s low-pitched whistle (from cutting through the air) & tyre-on-road noise alert us it’s coming. 55% of new car sales by 2040 could be electric. The sound of the city will change
