You're not hearing, but there are external speakers announcing the car's presence. Hyundai calls its own sound as Digital Angels IIRC.
Every EV sold in EU and US must have this feature. Just because you don't hear internally, it doesn't mean it's not present externally.
@bayindirh @displacedcanuck I think - if I'm following the thread correctly - they were referring to simulated engine sounds in the cabin.
I wholeheartedly agree that exterior noise generators are critical to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe in lieu of a noisy ICE.
