Me too, I'm really hoping that electrics get rid of a lot of annoying and completely unnecessary vehicle noise.

I know they won't kill the tire/wind sounds, but if they break the mental association of loud == fast == cool for men, it could be a game changer.

No more ridiculously loud acceleration from 'modded' cars and bikes...

Also heavy trucks / buses under acceleration can be loud too, hopefully those'll go away as well.
