Poll: Should Ford give the Mach-E growling noise like the Dodge Charger Daytona EV Concept?



Yes - it would be cool
No - it's fake engine noise, c'mon man!

No - lets make the world quieter, not add unnecessary noise pollution. And knowing people if manufactures do this to aid transition we will be listening to these sounds for the next 100 years.

I guess - they could be hacked to emit even worse sounding noise!

No.

If you want to add it aftermarket, great. No Ford R&D $$ should be spent on making it a feature on the car. Thinking about it, I think the Mustang growl, while excellent on an ICE Mustang, would sound incredibly silly on the MME. The Charger is a silly car to begin with, so it's expected to sound silly.

No. Electric car should sound like an electric car. My Trans Am sounds like it has a Ram Air IV engine in it (since it has the ‘041 cam and round port heads). 🤪🐩

Making a powerful electric car as noisy as a ICE car is about as crazy as putting feathers on an airplane to make it look more like a bird. This is merely catering to the immature craving of us guys wanting that old V-8 sound from our youth. I have come to like the silent acceleration of an EV and the surprised looks on the faces of the kids driving these ridiculously loud cars when I pull away from them. I am one of the people who laugh when I see a Honda Civic with a tail fin and and exhaust pipe big enough for a diesel locomotive. Louder is always faster...right???

Yes, should be a paid accessory option, so all the Naysayers here are happy too.

I’m gonna be in the minority and say yes because I miss the physiological response from hearing gears shift and an engine growl. Necessary no, but I do miss it some days.
