How can you make electric cars sound good?
I know that one of the perks of buying an electric car is the quiet motor, but I personally enjoy hearing the roar of the engine in a car. Can electric cars sound good?

When it comes to missing the sound of an engine revving, you’re not alone! Because electric cars lack an internal combustion engine, there is no mechanism to produce noise for your ride other than the sound of the wind outside and your tires on the road.
The quiet ride of an electric car actually presents manufacturers with a unique opportunity to get creative. Many electric cars have implemented optional sound design technology to address that very issue. A few examples include:
- Hyundai Motor Group’s “e-Active Sound Design (e-ASD),” onboard technology that virtually recreates the sound of a driving vehicle.
- The Ford Mustang Mach-E’s “unbridled” mode, which Ford commissioned from Detroit electronic music artist DJ Matthew Dear. The digital propulsion sounds mimic an internal combustion engine but with a futuristic twist.
- The Jaguar I-PACE has an Active Sound Design feature that creates an artificial whooshing noise as you accelerate and decelerate.
Not everyone will opt to use these features, but they can enhance the driving experience both aesthetically and from a safety perspective. Most ICE drivers utilize auditory cues to gauge speed in a way that electric cars typically don’t provide. Having an active sound design feature that responds to that in real-time can make for a more intuitive driving experience.
