Here’s what the electric Dodge Charger’s “Fratzonic exhaust” sounds like (arstechnica.com)

"The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust—the name refers to a Dodge logo— combines various chambers underneath the Charger's body with some woofers and mid-range speakers, all driven by a dedicated 600 W amplifier. The system is also designed to transmit vibrations into the chassis through elastomeric bushings, mimicking an internal combustion engine and its motor mounts."

I hate this law because its so damn loud. Its so often i find EV's louder then ICE cars in parking lots and its usually and obnoxious chime sound that travels much further than the little rubble coming from an engine. I wish they'd change this law to something more restrictive so the sounds are not as loud and also less obnoxious so it cannot be heard from more than 30f away. I suggest simple white noise at som low 40 dB or something like that.
