A clip clop like a horse or motor noise like a gas car, personally I love the non noise I make.

What a load of crap. My corolla is quiet enough that I hear the wheels on the road as much as I hear the motor. If I had an electric car and was forced to have it make noise I’d make it scream like a 2 stroke dirt bike. That’d make people jump when I hit the throttle. ---

Sound is one of the most strong sensing way to know the surrounding for the blind, and is the main reason why blind people did nor recognize the EV coming near because it did not have any noise as compare to that of the other cars. ---
