I am watching this video sitting in this car because I don't know how it sounds outside 😅 I was wondering why everybody looks at me in the street when I drive slow
This virtual engine sound when driving slowly forward is totally obnoxious. One of the joys of driving electric is the smooth quiet power and acceleration. I think NHTSA got hoodwinked by the gasmobile crowd into believing that this is a necessary safety feature. That said the reverse beeps does work really well in shopping center parking lots with unpredictable pedestrians waling every which way.
Pretty much same sound as the 2020 Niro EV for the forward moving sound. Reverse sound is much better, but this may be a special European version. My 2020 had a crazy loud reverse beep that was almost twice as loud as the legal requirement and was completely annoying. I love everything else about my Niro though...
we have three of these car model around my neighbourhood, and I was looking for the reason why they make this loud erupting noise. I am suffering from noises since I have been released from service (PTSD) and I'm quite sure it's way louder than allowed by law.
Is it only me or the whistling sound is strange? Or does every E-niro have a sound like that? I don't mean the VESS sound but a slightly whistling sound that comes when car accelerating
I have the same problem. I. So sure it wasnt this loud when i initially bought it. Whistling sounds deiving me mad. Purchased brand new last year. Also when i take a lwft turn sounds like a scraping noise.
@Shadow009yaru6 days ago Is it only me or the whistling sound is strange? Or does every E-niro have a sound like that? I don't mean the VESS sound but a slightly whistling sound that comes when car accelerating I have the same whistling noise. 2022 bought from new. Im so sure it wasnt this noisy last year. Just sounds louder. Do you think theyd check itvunder the warranty or charge me?
Okay this woman lives in my complex and always heard her back up with the beep sound like she’s elderly or can’t drive or super cautious. I wondered why her SUV sounded like a spaceship every time she came back home. Never heard an electric vehicle before. It would be year before that noise didn’t phase me.
Ich habe den Eniro gekauft und bereue es wirklich nicht! Autobahnverbrauch im Sommer ca 15 kw/100km alsoxim schnitt 350 km dann laden ca 30 min. Dann wieder 250 km! Für Menschen die nicht oft Langstrecke fahren ist der Niro top!
I was so disappointed to learn this noise is just a speaker to warn pedestrians. If it was actually the sound the motor makes I would buy one. Still sounds great.
I've had this car for a year and I hate the backup sound more and more not to mention it's soooo loud and embarrassing and probably wakes up my neighbors. Real close to selling it after only 9 months
Ich mag diese futuristischen Autos, aber nicht wegen der Umwelt oder Klima kladderadatsch. Ich mag sie weil entspanntes fahren, weniger kompliziert wenn es um die Wartung geht. Und sofern mal kein Öl mehr da ist kannste auch Solarenergie nutzen. Die Sonne wird erstmal nicht so schnell ausgehen. Strom bekommt man irgendwie überall her. Notfalls muss sich jemand fürs Team opfern und aufs "Laufband" zur Energie Gewinnung.👍 Mfg.
I hate it... I just bought this car and was really not prepared for that sound. One thing is if it is was only active when there were actually pedestrians to warn, but imagine spending 2 hours in a slow-moving queue with this shit going non-stop. I think I would have ended up leaving the car in the road and go full "Falling down" mode
Personally I don't like sounds on electric cars, because they don't need it, and is a useless way of pollution, and besides, every car produces sound when the wheels touch the asphalt. If a pedestrian is smart enought it is expected they turn their heads to see if there is a car to go ahead. And blind people have special places to cross, and the sound emited by traffic lights to announce they can cross.
I found an easier way to unplug the VESS speaker. On my 2020 Kia Niro Phev I spread the two pieces of plastic under the hood latch with some large deep well sockets or something that will spread it far enough to get your hand in. I could then stick my hand in and push the top of the plug where the clip releases it then unplug it. Do it on a hot day because the plastic will bend easier. NO MORE NOISE POLLUTION!!!
One LITERALLY just drove past me in the carpark. I could only see the Kia logo so I googled “kia electric car sounds cool” LOL 😂 sounds amazing
It sounds absolutely terrible in my opinion
@@douwe_whow
One of these drove past me in a car park the other day and it blew my mind. I absolutely love it lol
You just got abducted by the nironians
Lol, just came here looking for a hint on how to disable it in my eNiro. I am missing VESS button :-/
@@hidemichiXT in that case you cannot disable it
I told my friend his car sounds like a ufo
yeah :)
I get told this by my husband lol
That sounds incredible. I love that futuristic shit. I geek out so much on that.
Truly a Kia, movement that inspires moment
Got the 2020 version, sounds like a spaceship
😀🔋🔋
Lmaooo bro 😂 one JUST drove past me like 10 minutes ago.
One of the few cars with led brake lights that go out gradually when u step off the brake!
I am watching this video sitting in this car because I don't know how it sounds outside 😅
I was wondering why everybody looks at me in the street when I drive slow
😅👍
Me too I either love or hate this noise no idea which
Shame when they see it’s a Kia lol😅
I remember this driving by me in a parking garage n I thought it was so cool
I was going back from grocery on my way back i heard this sound and was totally amazed
I was high as fuck and heard this outside and got scared but felt calm af. the next day I looked up Kia electric and this was it 😂

My next door neighbor has one of these, every morning when im walking my dogs and hear this, it blows my mind that a car can even make those sounds
The Only think that I don’t like is the reverse sound, overall the sound is just cool 👍🏻
Yep, I have the car and hate the reverse sound. Everything else is great
I had my speaker unplugged. So, no more backup sounds
@@naustin5561qwert how did you do it? There’s a tutorial somewhere my neighbors are hating me for that…
It sounds like some gay submarine
Reminds me of the Fisker Karma. This feature is a MUST on electric vehicles, mainly because, how am I gonna hear it coming?
Yes it’s mandatory by law in Europe now
@@crospotter13 I want to say it's the same for the United states, but I haven't done the research to guarantee that.
@@christopherknowsbest9666 it is the same
Sounds like a ps2 starting up
me and my crew had one pull into our motor service center and all I said was "Did a UFO just land in here?"
Nice video bro and great fantastic
i LOOOVVVE electric car sounds!!!
Sameee
I want to hear 10 of these in a carpark driving at the same time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seriously sounds like something from a sci-fi show.

This sound alone is wgy i want an EV. Always stop to listen when one passes by ❤
They really made a car sound like the THX intro huh

I'm so mad the US version for reverse sounds nothing like this. I always get weird looks cause it's so frickin loud!
Yes it's so embarrassing at this point.
The reversing alarm sound is loud I can’t even lie
Check out the Hyundai Ioniq it sounds similar if not the same because these two companies work as a group
The sound reminds me of a ps5 home screen music
I'm leaving in a very quiet area,all neighbors are mad at me, because my 22 Niro, the beeping bothers to everyone,Carr is nice .
Sounds like an angel 😅

My Kona also made that noise. It is normal, unfortunately…

It sounds like a ride at Disneyland. Please remain seated and keep hands in the vehicle at all times during the ride.
kann man das auch abschalten beim 2021-Modell? VG Hardy
I Don't know why but their sound scares me. Despite that, I want one
I live in a built up residential area and this noise is so annoying. The reverse sounds like a massive commercial semi truck. Terrible!
DO a gv60! I bet u to do it
Had to look this up to make sure I wasn't tweaking
Kia Niro E kaufen oder auf den Hyundai ioniq 5 warten?
Wenn du das Geld hast kauf den ioniq! Bedenke kia e Niro Topausstattung kostet gleich viel wie Ioniq 5 Basisversion mit kleiner Batterie!
Ich habe den Eniro gekauft und bereue es wirklich nicht! Autobahnverbrauch im Sommer ca 15 kw/100km alsoxim schnitt 350 km dann laden ca 30 min. Dann wieder 250 km! Für Menschen die nicht oft Langstrecke fahren ist der Niro top!

You have to hear the back up sound
this sound scares me.
I hate vess noise how to turn it off it gives me headaches
RR01, poate să fie arestată pentru raportare
Same virtual engine sound goes to Kia Sportage 5.
Its really fricken annoying when your neighbor likes the sound i think its stupid

I hate this sound. Rode in a Niro Lyft today. Absolutely hate this.
very cosmic.

Usually you can just pull the fuse for the "pedestrian alert system" and it turns off the speakers. Took me all of 5 minutes, and it saves my sanity
backup sound is annoying, loud.
Just me or it sounds really stupid
Europe VESS Not USA VESS like Hyundai USA, Kia, USA Genesis, USA
Personally I don't like sounds on electric cars, because they don't need it, and is a useless way of pollution, and besides, every car produces sound when the wheels touch the asphalt.

You place way too much confidence on pedestrians.

On Hyundai IONIQ 5 there's a simpler solution. You just pull the fuse for the VESS. No error messages or anything in the cabin.
Post a video on how you do this please?
Sound like in Church
