Teslas Make Noise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a common misconception that electric vehicles are silent. This belief stems from back when the first Toyota hybrids hit the US market. These vehicles made no noise when their electric engine was powering the car. However, things have changed since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teslas can make fake engine noise. While there\u2019s no engine to produce sounds, recent traffic regulation changes in the US have ensured that every electric car sold in the US has a built-in speaker that creates fake engine noises. This way, pedestrians can hear the car coming.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other fully electric car on the market, Tesla has no engine that can produce sounds. Being silent was once the main selling point for electric cars. What\u2019s better than cruising in complete silence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile has-palette-color-2-color has-palette-color-6-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 40%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);\"><em><em>If you&#8217;d like to find out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/tesla-make-noise-when-charging\"><strong>why Teslas tend to make a certain noise when charging<\/strong><\/a>, check out this related article that I wrote.

To answer this question, we researched how much noise Tesla models register in the cabin while driving at 60 mph (100 kph). We\u2019ve also added data on some electric and gas-powered rivals for comparison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about Tesla road noise in the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tesla Model<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auto-decibel-db.com\/index_kmh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Road Noise at 60 mph<\/a> (100 kph)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tesla Model S P90D<\/td><td>60.9 dB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tesla Model 3<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/tbtp-ev.github.io\/tbtp-results-noise.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">68.8 dB<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tesla Model X P90D<\/td><td>61.5 dB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/tesla-model-y-tricks-tips\/\" title=\"Tesla Model Y\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Tesla Model Y<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/reviews\/407589\/video-tesla-model-y-cabin-noise-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">67.7 dB<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine whether Teslas are loud inside, we\u2019d need to compare them to some of its main rivals. Here\u2019s a brief table of Tesla\u2019s electric vehicle competitors and their cabin noise at 60 miles (96.56 km) per hour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Electric Tesla Competitor<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/tbtp-ev.github.io\/tbtp-results-noise.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Road Noise at 60 mph<\/a> (100 kph)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Audi e-Tron<\/td><td>63.0 dB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BMW i3<\/td><td>66.0 dB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hyundai Ioniq<\/td><td>68.4 dB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at how much road noise the old-fashioned petrol and diesel-powered cars make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Petrol \/ Diesel Tesla Competitor<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auto-decibel-db.com\/index_kmh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Road Noise at 60 mph<\/a> (100 kph)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Audi A4<\/td><td>65.2 dB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Toyota Corolla<\/td><td>65.7 dB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Honda Civic<\/td><td>62.0 dB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After looking at the data from these three tables, we can finally answer the question at hand:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Tesla models show exceptional road noise soundproofing capabilities. At 60 mph (100 kph), a Tesla Model S is up to 10% quieter than a standard 2018 Toyota Corolla. Tesla Model 3 and the Model Y are slightly noisier at highway speeds but still on par with the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, according to data and evidence, Tesla\u2019s noise-canceling features work really well. This feature is more evident in its more expensive models. The Model S and the Model X show exceptional outside noise reduction capabilities that many of their rivals can envy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the more affordable Model 3 and Model Y can\u2019t share this bragging right with their pricier relatives. While not uncomfortable, road noise at highway speeds can be an issue for these Tesla models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, I recommend installing a soundproofing seal kit on these cars. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07R13DYYY?tag=evspeedy-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Basenor Tesla Model 3 Soundproofing Seal<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07R13DYYY?tag=evspeedy-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Basenor Tesla Model Y Soundproofing Seal<\/a> versions are available on Amazon.com.

Every Tesla produced since September 2019 has a built-in speaker that emits false engine sounds. The speakers have one main function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla driving sounds are constantly emitted from the car\u2019s built-in external speakers. These sounds emulate engine noise to warn oncoming pedestrians and traffic. The feature is extremely important for visually impaired pedestrians\u2019 safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The false engine sounds played through the speaker located outside the cabin are also played through your Tesla\u2019s internal audio system. This shouldn\u2019t worry the drivers, as the levels are adjustable both automatically (when you play music, etc.) and manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some Tesla drivers might find that this newly required feature ruins the entire EV experience, others have found ways to have fun with it. Let\u2019s take a look at some of these sound-related Tesla quirks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tesla-boombox\">Tesla Boombox Update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During a Christmas 2020 remote software update, all Tesla models received a new function called Boombox. This feature enabled drivers to choose various sound-related aspects of their Tesla.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a brief list of some things that the Tesla Boombox can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Allows the driver to choose different engine sounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enables various horn sounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plays music outside the car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As evident from this brief list, Tesla tried to add playful elements to an update that was meant as a serious safety measure. The best part is &#8211; it actually worked!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature does not only help reduce the risk of accidents involving visually impaired and unsuspecting pedestrians, but it can also reduce road rage incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realizing that they can alter their Tesla sound as they wish, more creative drivers have taken their chance and started creating a unique sound profile for their cars. Who can get mad at a person whose horn is <em>La Cucaracha<\/em>?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>I explored if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/can-electric-cars-make-noise\">Electric Cars Make Noise.

The purpose of this is to alert pedestrians of the car&#8217;s presence, especially at low speeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla owners can even customize the sound their car makes using a USB drive and the &#8220;Boombox&#8221; feature in the car&#8217;s infotainment system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Here are some of the sounds you might hear from the external speakers on a Tesla:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pedestrian warning system:<\/strong> A chirping sound that alerts pedestrians of the car&#8217;s presence at low speeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;La Cucaracha&#8221; horn sound:<\/strong> A popular custom sound that plays the tune of the traditional Mexican folk song when the car&#8217;s horn is pressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Internal Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the car, Tesla owners can enjoy a premium Bang &amp; Olufsen sound system. The sound system can be customized using the car&#8217;s infotainment system, including the ability to play different genres of music at various sound levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Here are some of the sounds you might hear from the internal speakers on a Tesla:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Warning chirps:<\/strong> A series of beeps that indicate a lane departure warning or other alerts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;<a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/how-to-set-up-sentry-mode-in-a-tesla\/\" title=\"Sentry Mode\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Sentry Mode<\/a>&#8221; alert:<\/strong> A loud, repeating alarm that sounds when the car&#8217;s security system is triggered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Boombox&#8221; mode:<\/strong> A feature that allows the car&#8217;s speakers to play music or sound effects at a high volume, even when the car is turned off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does a Tesla Sound Like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In addition to the sounds emitted by the car&#8217;s speakers, Tesla drivers may also hear various sounds related to the driving experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tire noise:<\/strong> The sound of the car&#8217;s tires on the road, which may vary depending on the road surface and tire type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wind buffeting: <\/strong>The sound of wind passing around the car, which can be more pronounced with the windows down or at high speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, there are many sounds and noises that you might hear while driving a Tesla. While some of them are designed to improve safety and the driving experience, others are there for the entertainment of Tesla owners and the people around them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a general guide and you should always consult with your Tesla service center for a diagnosis of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customizing the Tesla Fake Engine Noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In typical Tesla fashion, they have taken Fake Engine Noise a step further by allowing owners to customize the fake engine noise through an over-the-air software update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a comprehensive guide on how Tesla owners can customize the fake engine noise in their cars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sounds from a USB Drive: <\/strong>The first step is to download the custom sound files onto a USB drive. Tesla owners can find a comprehensive list of normal sounds, as well as a variety of custom sounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Infotainment System: <\/strong>Once the USB drive is plugged into the car, the sound files can be selected through the infotainment system. The Model X and Model Y have the Boombox mode which allows the driver to play the sound files through the external speakers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Driving Experience:<\/strong> The fake engine noise can be customized to enhance the driving experience. Sentry mode can also be set to play custom sounds when the car is parked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Speeds: <\/strong>The fake engine noise is only activated at low speeds, typically below 20 mph. This is to alert pedestrians of the car&#8217;s presence, especially in areas with low visibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom Sounds: <\/strong>Tesla owners can choose from a variety of custom sounds, including goat bleating, fart sound, and even &#8220;La Cucaracha.&#8221; As mentioned, the Boombox mode also allows for the sound to be played in different settings, from a low volume to a high setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Tesla Have a Sound Emitter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Tesla does have a sound emitter known as the Pedestrian Warning System, which serves an important safety purpose. This system is designed to emit a sound when the Model Y is driving below approximately 19 mph (32 km\/h) or when it&#8217;s in reverse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric vehicles tend to operate quietly, so this sound helps alert pedestrians to the presence of the approaching vehicle. It&#8217;s especially useful in urban areas where there are many pedestrians around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volume of the sound increases as the speed of the Model Y increases, providing a clear warning to those nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s important to note that the availability of the Pedestrian Warning System may depend on the manufacturing date of the vehicle. Vehicles manufactured before September 1, 2020, may not have this feature. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla emphasizes the significance of the Pedestrian Warning System, as its absence could potentially increase the risk of collisions and serious injuries. If you find that the sound is not being emitted or if you have any concerns about the system, it is recommended to contact Tesla immediately for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make A Tesla Sound Like V8 Engine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make your Tesla sound like a V8 engine, you can either change your driving sound or your horn sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the electric vehicle to sound like a V8 engine while driving, do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Enter the <em>Toybox <\/em>menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <em>Boombox <\/em>option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move the <em>Driving Sound <\/em>slider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a sound that sounds like a V8. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only want to sound the V8 audio when you press on your horn, change your horn sound by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Enter the <em>Toybox <\/em>menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <em>Boombox <\/em>option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activate the <em>Horn Sound <\/em>option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move the <em>Replace Horn <\/em>slider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose an option that sounds like a V8 engine. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Tesla Have a Subwoofer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla vehicles are known for their exceptional audio systems, and many of them come equipped with a built-in subwoofer. The subwoofer is a specialized speaker that produces low-frequency sounds, adding depth and richness to the audio experience. It enhances the bass notes and delivers powerful, immersive sound quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the specific audio setup may vary depending on the model and trim level, Tesla vehicles generally offer impressive audio systems with well-balanced sound reproduction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inclusion of a subwoofer ensures that you can enjoy your favorite music with thumping bass and a full range of frequencies. Whether you&#8217;re a fan of booming beats or simply want to enhance your overall audio experience, Tesla&#8217;s subwoofer will undoubtedly deliver that extra punch to make your music come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Change Tesla Bass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to adjust the bass settings in your Tesla vehicle, you can easily do so through the car&#8217;s sound audio settings. Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide on how to change the bass:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Start by accessing the media or audio control screen on your Tesla&#8217;s touchscreen display. This is typically found in the center console or on the main control panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the equalizer or audio settings option. It might be represented by an icon that looks like sound waves or labeled as &#8220;EQ&#8221; or &#8220;Audio Settings.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you&#8217;ve found the audio settings, navigate to the bass adjustment section under &#8216;Tone.&#8217; This is where you can fine-tune the bass levels according to your preferences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;ll likely see a slider or numerical scale that allows you to increase or decrease the bass. Slide it up to boost the bass or down to reduce it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To find your desired bass level, you can experiment by playing some music and adjusting the setting in real-time. This way, you can hear the changes and make adjustments until you achieve the desired bass response.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the bass level, you can save the settings if your Tesla offers a save or preset option. This allows you to retain your preferred bass settings for future use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the specific steps might vary slightly depending on the Tesla model and software version. If you&#8217;re having trouble finding or adjusting the bass settings, referring to your vehicle&#8217;s user manual or reaching out to Tesla&#8217;s customer support can provide you with more specific guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-faq-block\"><div class=\"rank-math-faq-item\"><h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Do all Tesla cars make fake engine noise?<\/h3><div class=\"rank-math-answer\">All Teslas sold since the final quarter of 2019 are equipped with a speaker that emits engine noise in low-speed traffic situations to improve pedestrian safety.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"rank-math-faq-item\"><h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">How does the interior noise level of a Tesla compare to other electric cars?<\/h3><div class=\"rank-math-answer\">Teslas have exceptional road noise soundproofing capabilities, with interior noise levels at 60 mph being up to 10% quieter than a standard 2018 Toyota Corolla, according to research.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/15-best-gifts-for-tesla-owners-to-buy-2022\/\"><strong>20 great gift ideas for yourself or a Tesla fanboy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/contact\/\">Contact Us<\/a> if you have any questions or queries.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UtBjw8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tesla-Gift-Box-Ideas.jpg\" alt=\"Tesla-Gift-Box-Ideas\" class=\"wp-image-10509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tesla-Gift-Box-Ideas.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tesla-Gift-Box-Ideas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.evspeedy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tesla-Gift-Box-Ideas-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EVs are known for their quiet operation, but did you know that Teslas can produce over 40 different sounds and noises?
