I never understood this. When I was a wee lad I wanted a car that sounded just like KITT. Completely silent.

From what I have observed, any sane car is like that: the loudest noise is from the tires, with the engine only being louder when at low speeds or accelerating very aggressively.

EVs for the win! They also usually have a futuristic whirring noise when reversing, just like KITT
