Question

The noise grows on you. I thought it was cheesy at the beginning of the time I have it, but I miss when it’s off now.

@nirati-sri · Answer

It’s more of a safety feature than anything. Urban areas are dangerous with silent cars.

@raj-kiran · Answer

I usually turn it off, but sometimes I like to turn it on for more intriguing drive.

@arjun-gupt · Answer

Of course it’s better than the odd space noises some of those other EVs make. At least Porsche attempted to sell it as good.

@nimish-rai · Answer

The speed is good for gauging speed, especially in sport mode. He didn’t fake an ICE; He wanted driver feedback.

It's just a gimmick. The natural whine of the electric motors is appreciated by real car enthusiasts.

The sound is pretty cool, but I wish that it could be customized more. Let us upload our own sounds!

I like this as a clever compromise. It will help the traditional Porsche fans to switch to electric without losing the sporty feel.

@sachin-sha · Answer

It's totally unnecessary. The idea of an EV is quiet and smooth ride. Why waste that with fake noise?

I love it! It also increases the excitement and excitement of the car. It also gives pedestrians a way to hear you coming.
