Here’s what the electric Dodge Charger’s “Fratzonic exhaust” sounds like

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/08/heres-what-the-electric-dodge-chargers-fratzonic-exhaust-sounds-like/

Dodge wants to keep the aural spectacle even as it moves to electric propulsion.

"The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust—the name refers to a Dodge logo— combines various chambers underneath the Charger's body with some woofers and mid-range speakers, all driven by a dedicated 600 W amplifier. The system is also designed to transmit vibrations into the chassis through elastomeric bushings, mimicking an internal combustion engine and its motor mounts."

Everyone in these comments seems to be overlooking the fact that EV's are required by law to have noisemakers, pedestrians need to be able to hear a vehicle approaching.

Sure, but does it have to be loud and obnoxious?
