That’s interesting.
Looked at Car & Driver tests and the Volt, Civic, Elantra, and Corolla were all right around 70 dBA on their sound test with the Focus at 72.
No shocker here. The worst part of it is that there’s no motor noise to distract from the road noise and that it comes overwhelmingly from the rear.
Frankly, if I had an electric car I’d find the ‘electric motor noise’ a wanted feature; none of that in the Volt.
Spendy, noisy and huge blind spots.
