Peter, I believe there is an EU standard which now requires EVs to make noise below a certain speed, like as they slow down to stop at lights, etc. This is designed to prevent blind people walking out in front of them. However, this maybe overtaken by the autonomous emergency pedestrian braking systems finding their way into the cheapest of petrol cars these days, it seems the technology will be put into EVs as well.
