A city in Germany (Osnabrueck) has switched all their buses to electric. They are much more silent, for sure.

I also don't feel like electric cars are more loud, at least at moderate speeds. I always had the impression that they're a lot more silent inside cities. Maybe on a highway that would be different, I can't say.

The biggest offenders of background noise are obviously trucks though.

Not where I lived, when I lived in a city. The worst offenders by far were motorcycles and cars which had aftermarket exhausts designed to be noisy. Much of the noise on roads is intentional.

You aren't wrong.
