Feds propose minimum sound standards for hybrid, electric vehicles

I go to electric car races every year..They are student built and hit speeds of 55 mph.. People see then coming.. But there is little noise.. People will walk across the track.. They end up running there ass off, the cars are on 'em in a sec.

It is funny how internal combustion engine cars get quieter all the time (especially in the passenger compartment) ... in comes the quiet electrics and hybrids, and now we want them to make a little more noise.

But yeah, that doppler effect. I wonder if the doppler effect as a 'warning signal' evolved in humans since the industrial revolution and mechanization.
