BMW Plug-In Hybrids Will Soon Emit Sounds For Pedestrian Protection
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW Plug-In Hybrids Will Soon Emit Acoustic Sounds to Protect Pedestrians Per BMW: From summer 2019, all plug-in hybrid models will be equipped with acoustic protection for pedestrians as standard. When driving on electric power, an unmistakable sound specially created for electrified BMW models is generated using a system of speakers. The sound produced at low speeds has been designed to announce the car’s presence acoustically without affecting acoustic comfort for its occupants.

This is a good idea. I almost got taken out by a moderately speeding Model 3 in the parking garage this morning. Doesn’t happen with ICE cars because i can hear them around the corner.
I wonder if we can code in the sound of our choice? I’m thinking i would want mine to sound like an old Wehrmacht Tiger tank... |

Is it just the fake sound from an M car interior piped to the outside?

There's a similar feature for external active sound on the BMW i8 to help give the impression of a 6-cylinder exhaust note.
I wonder if this implementation will be similar to the muffler speakers on the i8.

The fiskers do this and I kind of love it. Don't know what kind of sound the bmws will make but the sound of the fisker sounds like it's straight out of tron.
