While there are obvious virtues to have EVs emit sounds, and I will not
oppose the effort, what can we do to ensure the sounds are quiet enough
and pleasant?
I imagine with horror a city full of cars emitting 1khz square wave
beeps, like so many commercial trucks and construction equipment. I can
barely tolerate hearing those. Add to that and I will go crazy. I'm sure
I'm not alone.
Now, I don't expect the rulings to call for something that obnoxious.
But still, without some pushback, we may increase the amount of noise
from our current levels. That would be bad, in my opinion.

The US government on Monday completed long-delayed rules that will
require "quiet cars" like electric vehicles and hybrids to emit alert
sounds at speeds of up to 18.6 miles per hour (30 km/h) to help prevent
injuries among pedestrians, cyclists and the blind.
The rules, which were required by Congress, will require car makers like
Tesla, Nissan and Toyota to add alert sounds to all vehicles by
September 2019.
