Audi composing e-car sounds



This is Audi's work on making its upcoming production electric cars a little easier to hear, writes Brian Byrne.

We're not too sure about this outcry for adding sound to quiet electric cars. Wasn't it part of the plan to make our environment more quiet? And besides, with so many pedestrians earbudded into their own audio worlds, they likely can't even hear today's traditionally powered cars.

Still, they're working on it.
