the engine, while contributing a lot to the noise of a vehicle is not the sole source. a vehicle in motion also has gear noise, tire noise, wind, and a horn to warn the foolhardy pedestrian. if signifigant enough of a problem, I am sure a buzzer of some type could be made a standard for electric vehicles to warn of their presence on the road to an unwary passerby at little expense.
