E Sound?

[brae]

The manual states (per US federal law) that the Taycan plays an "E Sound" externally at low speeds, so pedestrians are made more aware that a vehicle is present. Does anyone know what this sounds like?

Note that it's not the same thing as the optional "electronic sport sound", and I haven't seen any other mention of it yet in reviews or videos.

IIRC, The federal law has not yet taken effect in the US. From WIki

"The regulation requires full compliance in September 2020, but 50% of "quiet" vehicles must have the warning sounds by September 2019."he

They may have already put in it. @louv does your car have this pedestrian noise?

Check out this video which captured the noise Taycan makes at low speed existing a parking area.

thanks. Looks like that is Europe which has already implemented rules. my guess is that it was also implemented in the US even though it is not yet required just to save the trouble.

Yes, my car definitely makes sound outside. It’s kind of a cool sound. Not overly loud. You can only hear it with the windows down... or when the valet is driving away in your car.

Thank you @louv and @Fitzban! It's funny, it sounds kind of like the electronic sports sound (that you have to option to hear on the inside). I like that sound a lot but I bet it generates the occasional weird look in the city when you're zooming around in your spaceship car.
