Where I take my EV for inspections is a local "good old Boy" shop. They have a dog that the second I pull up he comes over to my car and pees on the wheel. The owner says that he has never seen him do that to any other car. We figure it might be some high pitch sound or other unknown phenomenon that make him react this way.

While the low frequency noises from the engine and exhaust are eliminated, the high-pitched electronic noise can be quite loud to wildlife (and those of us that can hear ~17 kHz and above.) The controller switching frequency of is above the typical person's threshold of hearing, but my cats would greet me in the driveway every evening that I would come home from work in my EV. They could hear me coming a block away. My wife can definitely hear the controller in our Prius and also in our Leaf. Bill D.
