Are Hybrid Cars Too Quiet?

whoa!!whoa!!whoa!!whoa!!whoa!! whoa!!
how come no one ever complain how they can't hear a car pass by around down town. i practically can't hear em. There are plenty other stuff going on than just car.

I have good hearing but with my back to traffic I have had near misses with silent hybrids. So it is not just the blind. If you have strips that generate noise vibrations only near crosswalks that would not add to excessive noise pollution in city traffic.

you have survived so far with the noise.
so i see no change u should complain against.

I hate the noise the cars generating. Every summer evening I try to rest or speak a little with my wife at open windows, some crazy guys come with their turbo-noise gazoline machinces and kill every other people's rest around the area. Do you like it? I suppose not. Noise is not the definite environment you want and can live, continuous background noise will have imapct on your health. We should have more silnet technology, but at the same time take care of handicapped people too.

naw, turbos are to whiny... nothin like a good old v8 with glasspacks and headers...the best part is setting off car alarms as you go bye... ahhhh

fuck yeah!! i don't know whats with all these pussy guys now days that whine about cars being too loud. whatever happened to men being men and driving brute powerful cars. leave the hybrids for the girls; let your balls drop and drive a real car to all you pusses out there.

i smell the oil lobby. and its whores in congress

an elephant walking down the road is also quiet

especially if your deaf

I also would imagine that there will be an increase in people getting electrocuted trying to plug in or unplug their plug hybrid cars in the pouring rain.

Comments on this video makes me sick.
Get rid of blind and handicapped people?!!! Damn.... I didn't know there were so many Hitler wannabes.
