Hi all,

This is the thing that makes a noise when the car is moving at less than, I think, 12 mph. Has anyone heard what this sounds like on the i4?

Some cars are horrible (I’m looking at you Kia EV6, sounds like the machines in the war of the worlds).

Not all cars have that, I haven’t heard anything about it yet?

It's an EU regulation that electric and hybrids should emit an acoustic vehicle alert whilst driving < 20km/h.

As of Monday, all new models of electric and hybrid vehicles developed and sold in the European Union must come equipped with an acoustic sound system. Vehicles will have to produce a sound when reversing, or driving below 12 miles per hour, according to the UK government.

I have heard the PWR of the iX3.
Probably it will be the same.
Not pleasant. Like a ventilator maybe? Didn't like it.
