The mandatory noise maker is an important pedestrian safety feature. It helps you avoid getting hit by cars. It's also only required at low speeds (and at higher speeds it wouldn't matter anyways due to tire noise dominating).

We can always install a 50cc two-stroke ICE in every electric car. Would be perfect for warning pedestrians ;)
