i believe the sounds come from devices called GTO thyristors, which feed pulses (the gear changing sounds) of current to the traction motors.
according to wikipedia: "the noise is produced by the oxygen in the air vibrating as the magnetic field changes (oxygen is magnetic whereas nitrogen is not)."
The Rohrs are my favorite cars. Nice video.
