Electric Vehicles have to have a noise alert, existing vehicles I believe have until 2021 to comply but new vehicles will have it fitted before leaving the factory. This is to warn pedestrians.

If you had a choice what noise / sound would you have fitted. For devilment I would have mine sounding like a ice cream van to confuse the kids, or like a formula 1.

    How about one of those demented bumble bee sounds that scooters & Mopeds make?  They frighten most pedestrians !

    If  you  have  those  ultra  modern  blue  tinted  head  lights  on  your  motor  then  why  not  a ( Switchable  of  course  innocent )  two  tone  da  daaar  sound.  They  sure  as  heck  make  me  jump  even  when  I'm  in  a  car  park  embarassed.  {  they  could  even  be  fitted  to  those  verdammed  mobility  scooters  on  the  footway yell  }

    The sound of a Morris Minor, just for the look of disappointment on the pedestrians faces when they see an electric car instead.

    No sorry that forever belongs to this. A decent day at the office. I retired from here a couple of years ago. I still think this is the best informative video that got put onto their website. I stayed well out of the way at filming times 😂😂
