Carmakers seek electric car sounds for post-petrol era

I'm terrified of this. I realizes some years ago this would be a problem. No, I'm not worried about being run down by a silent car. I'm concerned about people downloading their own sounds like they did for ringtones.

Can you imagine a busy street full of the latest pop songs, audio logos, Daffy Ducks, farts galore, orgasmic acceleration... Ahhhhhh...

I've heard quite cars are not really a problem. I Asian cities with high numbers of leccy cars - one can hear birds, the wind and non-automotive noises and apparently, not many dead people. maybe we should just learn to look both ways before crossing?
