To be honest, I think the noise generated by electric cars (or lack thereof) is largely exaggerated. Given how most of the noise your hear of passing cars is tyre noise. Naturally this is very much speed dependant and an electric car going 5mph is a lot quieter than one with a combustion engine. But an electric car vs a regular one at 20-30mph, I think I'd struggle to tell the difference unless I was looking for it.
