Wasn’t aware that with the new electric trucks coming, now they are making a mandatory MINIMUM noise level in the EU…

Volvo Electric Trucks No Longer Silent, Listen to What They Sound Like Now

With EU sound regulations for electric vehicles soon coming into effect, Volvo introduced an acoustic alert system for its electric trucks. And it’s not just one sound, but 4 different ones.

here, many car makers have some sort of noise making sounds. supposed to be to let people know somethings coming?

but i suppose some o/o will try and put straight pipes on his.....

Electric car owners could choose which fake sounds their cars make under new proposal

Vroom vroom vs beep beep

All the hybrid Fords sound like George Jetson's car this year.

We had an electric 21 Ford F150 in the shop the other day for an alignment. It made some strange beeping noise in reverse.

I did almost 2 years Time at Central Refrigerated..

Not one of those Reefer trailers was nearly as "Loud" as an Auxillary Power Unit..

Ya know back home before I go 2 bed each night I pull the lawnmower outta my garage and push it alongsy to my Bedroom window and just fire it up..

Yeah, artificial truck noise. Try to keep up, will ya?

Maybe if they "Insulation" Cabs good enough...

Would trap that heat and block out all the "Noise"..

Meantime I'm just Idling because I'm used to the Hum of the Motor and it Blocks Out the APU and Reefers..

Furthermore the more Fuel I burn the more free Coffees and Points on my Rewards Card..

That said on a nice mild breezy day I shut my truck off and crack my windows..

Nothing more "Irritating" than Mr Auxiliary Power unit or that Dumbass in a Pete or KW and damn it he just wants to hear that Engine Hum all-night long .

Like Broke M-Fworders putting Racing Mufflers on a $500 1992 Civic outta the newspaper

Actually trucks are glued together.

I was surprised to hear that myself. But I guess it makes sense. Rivets on a unibody cab and sleeper might come loose.

At least Freightliner thinks that. Never had it happen on and decent trucks I drove.

Modern Freightshakers ain't too far behind.

I mean Can I swipe Credit Card Freaking "PLASTIC"

Guess what while cheaper intimately Plastic Cracks and ya need like an entire new Side Fairing..

Metal I could take a Hammer bend it back..

Still looked like crap but was INTACT not Rattling in a Wyoming Wind

Never ceases to amaze me how many will idle it day and night when it's in the 50s or low 60s perfect sleeping weather.
