There have been silent cars around for a century: they're made by 'Rolls-Royce' and their silence has always been one of their selling points. And they really are _silent_ when in top condition. I have frequently been in Rolls-Royce cars (of any age from 1 to 100 years) and not realised the engine was running at all until it started moving.
At the RR factory they had signs saying "BEWARE SILENT MOTOR CARS" at points where people and car's paths crossed.
And now Rolls-Royce is about to release their first electric car. How ironic would it be for them to have to make it their first noisy one?
