Sonic design may fix electric cars' quietness problem

Original: How sonic design could save electric cars from their biggest weakness

A new feature argues that sound design could solve one of electric cars' biggest weaknesses: their silence. With no engine noise, EVs can be hard for pedestrians to notice, and regulators already require warning sounds at low speeds. Designers are now exploring distinctive artificial soundscapes that keep cars safe while giving brands an audio identity.

Why now: Ongoing debate about EV pedestrian safety rules and brand identity has put attention on how electric cars should sound.
