This isn't a problem in my neighborhood, the opposite has now happened. I can hear my neighbors more than a block away. And it's actually not the EVs that are the worst offenders -- it's Toyota hybrids. They -howl- and are much louder than the non-hybrid equivalent. My Model 3 just makes white noise. Same volume as any other unmodified car at low speeds. Tire noise quickly dominates in either case, of course, above 10-15 mph or so.
