I really hope things don't go the way of the McDonald's ice cream machines.

You can remove the fuse that makes the noise to let people know you are there. But it's illegal for obvious reasons

There's a noise it must make? I haven't heard of this.

Yes, it's for the safety of people that have vision problems and just pedestrians in general. You can hear a combustion engine no problem but an electric one is nearly silent. Some car companies add a speaker in the front to make engine noises.

Actually by law they have to have them. At least in America.

Interesting. Don't believe we have this in Canada.

My Bolt only has chimes when I leave my driver door open; but those are internal chimes.
No reverse sounds either; backup camera activates with overhead view.
It does beep at me if I forget my keys in the car though

In many parts of Europe Domino's uses scooters instead of cars for delivery. When they went to electric scooters they added sounds for safety.
The sounds are amazing with various versions of "Domino's" "Pizza"

If it's anything like their electric moped, then it won't be quiet, just absurdly noisy www.youtube.com/watch?v=n17B_uFF4cA

Taylor, the brand that makes those ice cream machines, makes a certain machine especially for McDonald’s. It’s designed to break.
