One of the things giving me pause aboot getting an electric leaf blower is I heard the whining noise is much more annoying withoot the gasoline engine to cover it up. Maybe it is the air more than the electric motor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be relatively easy to come up with an external sound system capable of replicating "normal" engine sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m watching the morning news and they just did a bit on this car. Yeah they created noise, 126 decibels of noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted August 18, 2022 Share #8 Posted August 18, 2022 They could also make tire screeching sounds every time you accelerated somewhat hard (but not hard enough to actually squeal your tires). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted August 18, 2022 Share #9 Posted August 18, 2022 Interesting bits: Today, Dodge unveiled what it's calling "the future of electrified muscle." The Charger Daytona SRT is an electric performance coupe meant to carry the torch passed by the outgoing Charger and Challenger. The Daytona SRT will have an 800-volt electrical architecture called Banshee. Powertrain specs aren't available, but Dodge claims it will be faster than a Hellcat. Other features meant to enhance the muscle-car experience include a multi-speed transmission, a temporary horsepower boost button, and an "exhaust" system meant to make the Daytona SRT just as loud as a Hellcat. ...and all wheel drive.

I was going to suggest the Lightning, but those are in short supply too (production definitely isn't ramped up at Ford). But, put good snow tires on it, you should do great Well, I'm not sure if the jury is in yet on electric cars in the cold, in the salt, and built by Dodge.

12string Posted August 18, 2022 Share #13 Posted August 18, 2022 As far back as the Tesla roadster, you could buy exhaust sound systems for them. Heard one that had dozens of options - V8, V10, Ferrari, Tie fighter................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said, since it's silent, Ford has that beeping when in battery mode (perhaps only backing up). I'd rather have a fake V8 sound if I had to have a sound at all.

Probably both that plus the push to be all electric by 2035. Earlier in other countries, but I doubt Dodges sell too well elsewhere in the world.

Mr. Beanz Posted August 18, 2022 Share #17 Posted August 18, 2022 Nothing wrong with the headline if one is able to interpret it with an open mind. Scream like a banshee to me would be creating a high pitch whine. Yes, I've heard electric cars make high pitch Screaming sounds. Heck, I've heard small remote control cars with electric motors make high pitch noises like a Screaming banshee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I also thought maybe they meant the electric whine under full throttle, but it looks like they meant the "fake" sound (maybe meant both?).

There's also the part about that infamous race where they beat the Tesla - then got caught cheating to do it. If you want the fastest (sellable) 0-60, you have to go electric.
