Yes, but it still seems like a cool choice worth talking about. They could have made a totally fake engine noise, instead they mic’d up the axles.

Or, like, keep it silent as it is? Imagine iPhone converting signals an data lines to sound to imitate dial-up modem noises

most jurisdictions mandate some minimum noise level for pedestrian safety, and cars have to implement artificial noise at low speeds to meet that requirement. (above a fairly slow speed, the tire noise is more than loud enough)

That's a reasonable requirement, but it clearly says the noise is for the driver, not pedestrians
