The 1996 EV1 had a reverse-gear warble that sounded as if Eeyore had been
kicked in the crotch. Kids at the hotel in Marina del Rey (wher I stayed while
renting the "most efficient production vehicle in automotive history" (GM's
words) loved it; they ran after my rented EV1 going "EEe-Onnh! EEeee-Onnnh!

I was in the Publix parking lot across the street a week or so ago and a car
began backing up out of a parking spot. While it was in reverse a voice was
coming from it saying "This car is backing up" constantly. It didn't say
anything when it went forward.

Subject: [FLEAA] Blind advocates lobby for noisier hybrid cars
Hi Everyone,
I have heard this argument brought up a few times over the last year, and
have been hearing it made more and more over the last couple of months. It
seems the 'advocates' are making great headway with the media and getting
great attention. While I agree that some hybrids and EV's are hard to hear,
I think mandating that cars produce noise is not the right answer. What do
you guys think? I personally enjoy the silence of driving an EV around. The
driver should be responsible enough to observe his/her surroundings while
driving.
