It did so because refinement and NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) levels have become so excellent that the only way to hear the engine, without hearing outside road noise, was to fake it. Something similar is also happening with\u00a0electric\u00a0cars. Car companies are beginning to fake acceleration noise in electric cars, as they don\u2019t really have any, inherently. Is that more or less acceptable than fake engine noise through speakers inside the car? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<p>Both modern performance cars and EVs are creating fake noise to supplement their lack of exciting acceleration noise. While enthusiasts bemoan fake engine noise in traditional performance cars, as it seems dishonest, do electric cars get a pass because it actually doesn\u2019t make any noise to begin with?<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s be clear about something first; automakers\u00a0<em>must<\/em>\u00a0make some artificial noise in their electric cars, by regulation. The reason for this is that EVs need to remain audible to pedestrians, especially those that are visually impaired. So, at that point, why\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0play around with that noise and make it something exciting, right? Well, some automakers have taken to having some fun with the idea of artificial noise.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the all-new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2019\/11\/21\/2019-la-auto-show-ford-mustang-mach-e-an-electric-mustang-suv\/\">Ford Mustang Mach E<\/a>\u00a0makes an interesting bassy hum as it accelerates. It\u2019s entirely artificial but it actually sounds cool and makes driving it seem more enjoyable. <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2020\/03\/01\/test-drive-porsche-taycan-turbo-s\/\">Porsche<\/a> has also toyed with the idea of making its electric cars sound more exciting. If I\u2019m being personally honest, I like the idea.<\/p>\n<p>It would be really fun to hear electric cars, especially electric performance cars, whiz by with a Tie Fighter-like noise emanating from them. Sure, we\u2019d know it\u2019s all fake but it would still be fun in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. And, it would be cooler than artificial engine noise inside the car. The reason why internal combustion fakery is worse than that of an electric car has to do with honesty, I think. An internal combustion engine actually makes noise on its own and, if tuned properly, can sound fantastic. However, as previously stated, electric cars make no noise at all and regulations have forced them to make some sort of artificial noise. So if EV brands have to do it anyway, why not have fun with it? It would seem as if electric cars get a bit of a pass.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I like the idea of automakers getting creative with fake EV noises. Give us something fun and silly to make driving an electric car fast more enjoyable. I want to feel like I\u2019m in a Star Wars space battle every time I drive my car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW was one of the first brands to begin widely using artificial engine sound, piped through the speakers, in its\u00a0performance cars.
