Am I missing something here or are they seriously going to implement something so cheesy, so corny, and so incredibly stupid? And on a Fischer for crying out loud.

What?]]>Mar 13th 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/ Try using that pile of ground meat behind your eyes...Idiot. One problem that has arisen from the use of Hybrid/Electric Cars on the road is that lack of noise they make at intersections as people who are BLIND use the engine noise to determine if cars are stopped and if they are moving what direction they are moving in.]]>Mar 13th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/
At any rate, perhaps you have not heard many modern vehicles. Cruising at speeds on streets where pedestrians also are, most cars do not make much noise already other than tire noise, which any car - regardless of tire-connected motor choice - will have.

While the increased silence is a concern, it isn't anything new. Being blind and crossing a street without assistance is still going to be fundamentally risky, no matter how one tries to portray it. ]]>Mar 13th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/It is true that most modern cars have reduced noise levels INSIDE the passenger to the piont where road noise (tires) are now the main complaints from people. Outside of the car, the motor of a car can be heard quite clearly. I know...I walk around LA during the afternoon rush hour. try getting oput of your car and listening.]]>Mar 13th 2008 6:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/Mar 13th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/
What you hear when a vehicle passes at anything over 10 mph--unless it's a Harley, muscle car, modded Civic, or other loud-for-the-sake-of-being-loud chest wig--is tire rush and air displacement.

Many hybrids (Honda's, GM's "mild" ones) can't even accelerate without their ICEs running, and even those that can still whine and whoosh as they're regen-braking to a stop (and usually use both power sources to accelerate, unless it's parking-lot-gentle acceleration).]]>Mar 14th 2008 12:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/Mar 14th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/Mar 13th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/Mar 13th 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/Mar 13th 2008 6:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/Mar 14th 2008 10:56AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/fisker-karma-to-project-a-jet-turbine-sound-using-speakers/YES!!!

sorry, but electric vehicles come with advantages and drawbacks. want to spend less on gas? gotta give up the throughty exhaust note (among other things).

Just let it be what it is. ]]>Mar 13th 2008 5:43PM
