Even better I have a model Y and the latest software update allows you to customize “driving sound” as well as some preloaded effects as well. It’s called boombox I’ve downloaded variants sounds like the millennium falcon or Star Trek warp engine sounds.
This is a safety feature for pedestrians who may not notice a whisper-quiet EV approaching. All GM EVs and hybrids have a similar sound. However I have not noticed such a sound coming from Teslas.
They're just now coming out with those... Not sure how they got along for the last year or so after it's been madated but Musk is gonna have fun with it I guess, playing Snake Jazz or elevator music... Gotta be better than Toyota's
Someone in my area has this car with that sound and first time I heard it as they accelerated past me (my street has an incline) it freaked me out as it was so different than anything I've heard before, especially as the sound continues to gradually rise as the car accelerates - it really does sound like a sci-fi vehicle from the movies! There are a few Teslas in my neighbourhood but they don't emit any unique sounds. I thought I was imagining it until I heard the car pass by again today, and now further confirmed it with your video. Thanks for sharing so I can show my wife I'm not going crazy lol
Tesla let’s you customize sounds now I’ve downloaded a tie fighter sound and millennium falcon it’s awesome, I’ve even got a Star Trek warp sound as well.
For custom sound effects you load your sounds on a USB drive (I believe you can load up to 4), You go to the menu on the Boombox section (toy box) then you can click play custom sounds there's a drop down menu and your custom sound effects should appear there. You can also do this with the horn sounds as well.
It's kind of interesting that perhaps soon in the future they'll hire sound effects specialists just to get their own unique sound, and with that perhaps each company will have a specific artist that will solely identify with that company.
David Meskhi it seems plenty of people love the sound! Towards the end of the video I do a few short drivebys and it’s just the sound. Thanks for watching.
@@CarTechConnect can you just record the sound of an e-tron or an I Pace, no tire sounds just the white noise. I generally love that kind of sounds, Chris Zabriskie, Aphex Twin's Stone in focus and #17. these cars are just like Ambient music so relaxing. Btw great video
I really like it. The silence of an electric engine offers l lot ideas for cool sounds. I'm a petrol head and had different 8- and 6 cylinders in the last 20 years but the future is electric. So it is good to hear that the engineers find ways to make the cars attractive. Love it.
Al Bundy for people who don’t have time to charge up their car, hydrogen fuel is an alternative, created by electricity and when used to power the car, is converted to water. Car is filled up just like how petrol (gasoline) cars do now. Either way they’ll have electric motors. Cant use petrol/gasoline forever, it will run out and also contributes to global warming. Future is electric
@@tenidas7345 not at the moment sure but its quite easy to produce via electrolysis. Just there isnt a demand for now as there isnt many hydrogen powered vehicles. But there are electrolysis factories opening
@@MegaUsaname Wouldn't you just buy a home charger for your EV? I know Ford is gonna offer to add the cost of one and installation to the finance of the Mach E
So I’m a mailman, and I heard that sound coming up behind me. I immediately turned around to see what it was and it was the Audi e-tron. Sounded like it was straight out of Star Wars. I got to your video after googling Audi e-tron sound, so I could show my family.
I LOVE it. Now combustion cars all really over. I already can imagine spaceship sounds that can be chosen for your cars. I was complaining about sounds in electric cars because why would you put a sound in to a nice quiet and confortable car, but oh lord I changed my mind and I want one in my car RIGHT NOW
There's a couple of new e-trons that pull up into a small car park when I'm waiting on my children to come out of swimming lessons. They sound great and can't wait to have one in the future. We have a Q5 diesel which is not quite as pleasant on the ears!
Was fortunate to operate multiple e-tron 55s and can confirm this car is a spaceship. The video doesn’t do justice as hearing one in-person is a whole other experience.
I think that could be happening... Since the engine sound rely on electronics, I believe, with some software tweaks, we'll have customizable engine sounds
Did you hear about that Glydsphere system? I think with the app and speaker you can choose from a selection of sci-fi sounds which change according to your car's speed. The speaker looks pretty powerful....
I love it... half of the "experience" of fun driving is the sound.. And all of our senses... Sound, smell.. all of it.. The sound of the car is Extremely Important.. Was not interested in E-cars at all until now.. I can only imagine Ferrari's first electric car.. The sound better be extremely cool..
I'm surprise in the BASSY tone it has, how weird and almost cool it is. Thanks for sharing. The sound generator in my fiat 500e sounds like some creepy guy breathing down your neck.
Just heard one go by me in a parking garage and was trying to tell my wife about it! Super glad you made this video! I started questioning my own ears because I knew this Audi was electric lol The deeper grumble is a lot louder in person. Love the sound!
I love the sound and wish Teslas did the same. What I REALLY wish for is like an appstore that lets us customize the sound. I'd want mine to sound like the Ghost from Halo.
That's pretty cool. My 2014 prius C makes a pretty generic white noise sound when in ev mode. Though anything cooler would be out of place on a prius. 😆
I had a 2018 Fusion Hybrid and when I upgraded to the 2020, I freaked out because that's the same noise when the transmission is fked! Thanks so much haha
Is it possible to buy this sound generator? I'm looking for this sound for my Zero Motorbike. Is it possible to build this generator in my bike? I like the sound like out of the film Tron.
I have absolutely no idea but I’m sure somewhere deep in the Audi data caves there is a part number / part numbers for the system. Good look with that search! And it would sound awesome on a bike!
Is this standard in the US and is that factory installed? Audi tells me they can not even give me the partnumbers ... Intrestingly U can not eaven order it in Germany when I Ordered mine, even though it is not mandatory yet to have
Possibly in the future there might be a way to code it out but as far as oem the government mandates a low speed noise generator in all electric cars and this is Audis way of going about that. Definitely better than a generic beep 🙌👌
Yea not really sure how Tesla gets away with it. Or maybe it will be enforced in the future and Tesla can code it into a software update once that happens? I am curious lol.
Just heard one pass by in Hollywood on a loud street. Thought i was on Mars.
q4 e-tron upcoming !
Now what about when there's fires and it's all orange outside? Now it really would feel as though you're on Mars
Honestly I like the sound. It gives me that cyberpunk car vibes.
I like it too. It's that "The future is now, old man" kind of vibe
Not good... you will never rev an engine again cause soon all cars go electric
Even better I have a model Y and the latest software update allows you to customize “driving sound” as well as some preloaded effects as well. It’s called boombox I’ve downloaded variants sounds like the millennium falcon or Star Trek warp engine sounds.
You mean alien UFO
I get that
This is a safety feature for pedestrians who may not notice a whisper-quiet EV approaching. All GM EVs and hybrids have a similar sound. However I have not noticed such a sound coming from Teslas.
here in the eu EVs have to have a sound since 07/2018 that's why audi included it
It is actually July 1st, 2019. My Tesla has already the grill for the loudspeaker, but no loudspeaker behind. Germany, purchased in March 19.
They're just now coming out with those... Not sure how they got along for the last year or so after it's been madated but Musk is gonna have fun with it I guess, playing Snake Jazz or elevator music...
Gotta be better than Toyota's
Does the sound go away in high speed?
@@Fetidaf Or partner with Disney and we'll have a Star Wars spaceship sound coming out of Teslas.

I have exactly the same in my street. I get waked up by it everytime i sleep. Its annoying, creepy and too loud.
I fokin love that kind of sounds. Sounds so futuristic.
Me too! I don't care if it's fake, it's so futuristic and cool
Agreed, i love it!!!
Coool Ikr
Am I the only one that hates it already?
@@ATH-camChannelwithNoName
Maybe yeah
I would like a tie fighter sound :-)
Imagine an entire street packed with cars that sound like tie fighters, I think everyone living there would want to kill themselves
SCREEEEEEEERRRRECHHH
Tesla let’s you customize sounds now I’ve downloaded a tie fighter sound and millennium falcon it’s awesome, I’ve even got a Star Trek warp sound as well.
@@agentjrb sorry I’m late to respond but how do you do this ?
I ordered a Tesla about a month ago and it sounds pretty cool

Melos Bunjaku I think it’s already the case
Probably already happening. Supposedly Audi will give every electric model it's own unique sound!
How do you think this came to existence?
BMW M just did that, and hired Hans Zimmer, but honestly the result isn't as good as I expected it to be
Am I really only one that loves these kind of sounds? I'd love to find a video of just this noise and nothing else
David Meskhi it seems plenty of people love the sound! Towards the end of the video I do a few short drivebys and it’s just the sound. Thanks for watching.

Alcoholic squirrel I agree with you, I think it sounds very nice!
3:04 chicken!
Carlos Aarón Figueroa Palacios 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Imagine a whole city full of these noises. I see nightmares coming.
Better than a clattering diesel though?
Agreed. It gives me a headache. Turn off the sound. It's obnoxious
This Technology is very important for Blind or vision impaired people who can not see those cars and barely hear them on their regular sound.
Alborz Bastami yes very true!
I'm visually impaired and I approve!
They always hear my V8 coming. :)
Hope there'll be The Jetsons sound for customization....
The Renault R-Sound Effect app already had the Jetsons option back in 2012.
The hum sounds like a sparrow from the game Destiny (2) haha. Very cool. Super spacey.
Sounds like a wraith from Halo too!
Sounds like a Halo Banshee.
I guess you like fake stuff.

geminitriplets glad you could share it with them!
The sound of the future I really like it!
I just bought one of these and my mom said it sounds like UFO is landing when I leave and come home
lol
I love this sound, the sorta glistening one sounds cool
At our cafe, since we're doing curb side service a lady pulled up in her e-tron and that sound is awesome
The Jetsons love that car
love this sound and that it can act as a safety feature!
Wear with headphones
Audi does the coolest shit man I swear
Not bad.
Maybe they should make it louder, have a deeper sound..
I'm looking forward to who will make the sound of the future.
i can notice a deep bass when he presses down the pedal deeper. i think when e tron gt comes out that engine sound will be much louder and cooler
Sound is cool but imagine in a decade or two this is going to be the most haunting sound on roads filled with only electric cars
It is the sexiest EV sound in the industry.
I LOVE it. Now combustion cars all really over. I already can imagine spaceship sounds that can be chosen for your cars. I was complaining about sounds in electric cars because why would you put a sound in to a nice quiet and confortable car, but oh lord I changed my mind and I want one in my car RIGHT NOW
Really very cool. Had Inline-6, V6, V8, so sound is important to me..If electic sounds like that, I'll join the game...
Haha yes the sound is very important.
What camera that you use to shot this video, its very crisp and clear
There's a couple of new e-trons that pull up into a small car park when I'm waiting on my children to come out of swimming lessons. They sound great and can't wait to have one in the future. We have a Q5 diesel which is not quite as pleasant on the ears!
I love love this car I love the noise

yes it's crazy in person!!
Best ASMR Ever To me
I want my car with A320 IAE's engine sounds
I think that could be happening... Since the engine sound rely on electronics, I believe, with some software tweaks, we'll have customizable engine sounds
I love the sound my Etron makes ♡
. That's cool, perhaps next is each time Enterprise going to warp
My neighbor has one and it's so annoying. Can it be turned off?
I have a Kona and it also has VESS but it's even weirder. it's a musical chord. I friggin love it
Jules C that’s sweet. I have yet to hear a Kona yet.
I love this sound, please Record a Lot of this sound??
Did you hear about that Glydsphere system? I think with the app and speaker you can choose from a selection of sci-fi sounds which change according to your car's speed. The speaker looks pretty powerful....
this car is so cool i cant wait to get my lisens
Love this car I'm highly considering buying it! Do you work at a dealer? If so what's the city? I'm in Long Beach CA.
I heard one of these the other day while walking my dog and thought it was the most cool sounding thing I’ve ever heard from a car
As soon as electric cars sound like Land Speeders from Star Wars, I'll get one. They're getting close. Lol
The fly by accelerate is soooooo cool
0:12
Excelent future noise
We're can I get that sound
Go buy an etron :)
Ooh, spaceship like yeah, that's cool
Damn! That's a nice E6 motor!
Spooky sounds, happy Halloween 👻
Can you do another video, and stick the camera on the hood closer to the sound, really wanna hear that acceleration noise👌
Guess he's not gonna do it
Doubt the sound is coming from the hood
I love it... half of the "experience" of fun driving is the sound.. And all of our senses... Sound, smell.. all of it.. The sound of the car is Extremely Important.. Was not interested in E-cars at all until now.. I can only imagine Ferrari's first electric car.. The sound better be extremely cool..
I heard one of these pass by near my house. They do indeed sound like spaceships... or some UFO. Creepy. But I like the sound of it
That's a neat sound but reminds me of early 90s radiator fan sounds when a car is off and still cooling
love the sound
That's too freaking cool!
It sounds like a ghost from Halo! LOL That's awesome!
Hello, can this sportsound be retrofitted?
where can i get it ? thank you
Also heard the suspension squeak at 3:08 🤔
Is this produced by a speaker of some sort? The I8 has something similar that produces an exhaust sound that comes from inside speakers.
It's like my washing machine.. fantastic!
Caught myself laughing. Thanks for the video and laugh.
Hello i have bought recently etron and i have same sound is it normal ?
I'm surprise in the BASSY tone it has, how weird and almost cool it is. Thanks for sharing. The sound generator in my fiat 500e sounds like some creepy guy breathing down your neck.
Absolutely stunning thank you for sharing this 🙏💖 of a very nice car for sure ❤ 🌹 Melody
If I could edit the threshold of throttle sounds I would make mine yell "LEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRROOOOYYYYYYYY" at WOT lol
Just heard one go by me in a parking garage and was trying to tell my wife about it! Super glad you made this video! I started questioning my own ears because I knew this Audi was electric lol The deeper grumble is a lot louder in person. Love the sound!
Sounds like an oppressor mk II from Gta 5💀
2:50 is the best part, it isn't so easy to hear from the inside
Hello is this an option because mine makes no noise
i just want to know how can i open this sound coundt find in my car :)
I love the sound and wish Teslas did the same. What I REALLY wish for is like an appstore that lets us customize the sound. I'd want mine to sound like the Ghost from Halo.
How do I activate this noise on mine etron
Niiice and Enterprise sound option as well please 😊
What are those paddles used for if its an electric car🤔
You control how much regen-braking you want with the paddles! There are 3 different levels to choose from.
That's pretty cool. My 2014 prius C makes a pretty generic white noise sound when in ev mode. Though anything cooler would be out of place on a prius. 😆
You should hear it at full throttle. It makes a growling engine note outside the car
the sound should be open source, imagine if you could add some little fuzz and other plugins
I have one question: does it creep forward when you take your foot off the brake?
No
So cool! I love it
Mine doesn’t do this could I have a fault? It’s a UK model 2020
I heard this today and had to Google why that car I just saw parallel parking sounded like an old Mac computer starting up 🤣
How loud is this sound? Can you measure it with a DB meter app?
I'm looking to pickup an Etron S here in the UK, do these also make this noise ? Can any UK owners help me out ?
I had a 2018 Fusion Hybrid and when I upgraded to the 2020, I freaked out because that's the same noise when the transmission is fked! Thanks so much haha
haha 😂 Nice sound i love that thing !
cool, on the outside that's good enough for pedestrians and guide dogs. on the inside though, a piped in V8 sound would be awesome, lol.
if you have a chance try a Gwiz. Sounds like an RC F.16 turbine! lol!
Thanks. Btw, what color is the car?
Billy M this is Typhoon Gray Metallic 👍

Yea not really sure how Tesla gets away with it. Or maybe it will be enforced in the future and Tesla can code it into a software update once that happens? I am curious lol.
Presumably you could disconnect one of the speaker leads. Might get you into trouble come inspection time though.
There is a way to hack these EVs as well, so they can control the car and assassinate you if they want to.
Nearly sounds like I'm sat on a bridge of my very own starship.
I heard this yesterday at hospital.
Jackson storm?
How do I get this noise for a Tesla?
I was fully expecting this to have jetsons sound effect overlaid as a joke
I heard one in person today and loved it.
