    They’re still just as noisy above 30 km an hour due to air displacement and tire on the road.

      Depending on the ICE car, a similar EV can actually be more noisy, because of the heavy battery causing more road friction = more noise.

        This is what I’ve learned the past year during my general acoustics course. Over 50 km/h EVs produce more sound.
