Is this the future sound of the automobile?




With advocates for the blind pressuring automobile makers to install warning noises on electric cars (which emit no noise at the lowest speeds) Nissan has come up with a novel approach:

“We fought for so long to get rid of that noisy engine sound,” said Tabata, Nissan’s noise and vibration expert. With electric cars, “we took a completely different approach and listened to composers talk music theory.”

“We decided that if we’re going to do this, if we have to make sound, then we’re going to make it beautiful and futuristic,” Tabata said.
