There’s so much variability there though. The biggest factor there are the weight & the tires.

Basically tire noise will be the same on the same weight car with the same type of tires, EV or ICE. It’s just most EVs at this point are larger or heavier.

Yes, the tires are a problem but as long as that doesn't get fixed EVs are still louder at city speeds. I have nothing against EVs or hybrids (I drive one myself) but it is a concern and really should be fixed.

Noise when accelerating is also very important in a city, not just noise at constant speed.

EVs do much better here.
