Same in the USA, and it his horribly implemented.

Before this a Prius or any modern car would be dead silent at a stop because of stop-start technology. And even those small 1.6L don't make that much noise when idling.

Now you hear all these cars making their high-pitched UFO sound. And it is VERY irritating.
