Car companies think fake vroom vroom sounds will make you want an electric car

, a Toyota spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal. EVs don't need multi-speed transmissions like regular cars do, so this would be just for fun.

"Automakers are responding to some enthusiasts' worries that electric cars have no soul," Ed Kim, president and chief analyst at AutoPacific, an automotive research and consulting firm, told Insider. But, he said, things like artificial engine roars and unnecessary transmissions probably won't catch on long term. Buyers love quiet cars and can be repelled by fake stuff, he said.

"I don't know that 10 years from now we'll still be seeing this," he said."In the end, I think many drivers seek an experience that's authentic and real." Food for thought: Maybe blasting fake engine noises onto the street won't be a big selling point for EVs, but what if it could keep pedestrians safer?than an approaching gas vehicle. Perhaps giving EVs the acoustic signature of conventional cars could close the gap.
