Get ready to hear the future of electric car sound with the Alpine A290

Alpine has teamed up for the first time with Devialet, the French acoustic engineering company, to develop a bespoke sound system for the A290.

Wow, fake engine sounds now? What else is fake, the speedometer?

[@OsirisPL]

I would much prefer a silent car. Can this be switched off completely?

[@CombustiveVideo]

This is a good balance. Doesn’t pretend to sound like something else but clearly conveys what the powertrain is doing.
I wish more people will gain an appreciation for the role of a car’s sound to communicate to the driver. It’s very easy for wind and road noise to drown out the sound of an electric motor at speed.

[@Afilon]

Nope. Just let the EV motors do the sound. That high pitched 10k+ rpm sound is good enough. No need for stupid fakery.
And if you're gonna do fakery, do what Hyundai did in the Ioniq 5N. That's the only one that sort of makes the cut.

[@forgotten_world]

Then this is a thing now, fake sounds. What we are becoming.

[@Druezy]

The pitch goes way too high. It looks great, but the sounds do not match at all.

[@f.ludovico3105]

It’s just the right pitch I’d say. And the voice line is sonorous with a touch of futurism. Nice attempt by Alpine here.

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Lol, this EV is a big letdown after driving the Ioniq 5N.

[@O_Cachorro_Caramelo]

My God the future is not looking bright

[@SuperWolffie]

Ev has no future....

[@sugs1258]

Sounds broken…😂

[@ruisantos8291]

Guys, stop wasting money and resources on this. Just make it a great EV. You can do it! 💪

[@fernandopruneda861]

Oh, what a shame.

[@digitaldistressed]

Lame, I5N much more perfected.

[@kartwizard]

Just put a real ICE insided and make a real cars. Electric = 🤮💩🤮💩🤮💩

[@SSS_HEX]

Get lost...

[@INCREDIBULHULK]

the saddest video i have ever watched
this should be pure turbo and rear wheel drive

[@xXDaNiJaJaXx]

Cringe... I hope that noise can be disabled.

[@hh6427]

This ain't it.

[@danieleregoli812]

fake. Just like the fake sound on the electric Abarth 500. Sad and pathetic.

[@ARR0W]

Why, no one wants this.
