How about the sound of a Ferrari F40 at full throttle?

Re: Pedestrian Warning Sound opportunity
“The pedestrian warning law isn't in effect yet, nor could I find anything in the bill ( http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c ... 11UTU44d::) that says it's illegal to disable/change the sound. It just says that the manufacturer cannot make it so the sound can be disabled. It says nothing about us changing it.”
Disabling a safety device provided by the manufacturer may not be illegal (criminal) but it sure can be used against you in a lawsuit. It may show a callous disregard for the safety and lives of others.
The expression of concern over a blind friend who was unable to hear the warning sound can justify modifying the device to be more audible but going the other way is IMO unwise.

Re: Pedestrian Warning Sound opportunity
If I had a leaf that the noise generator couldn't be turned off, I would turn it off with a hammer.
That thing is incredibly irritating.
Use the horn.
If sound is safe then the standard should be a porsche 918. Which has the distinction of being the loudest mass produced car ever.

Re: Pedestrian Warning Sound opportunity
On my 2019 Leaf I simply turned both the pedestrian warning and rear back up sounds off using LeafSpy Pro.
I've heard it's not possible in the 2020 version?

Re: Pedestrian Warning Sound opportunity
On my antique EV I’ve had people ram their shopping cart into the rear battery box while it was parked and unoccupied.
My guess is a steam whistle might almost be loud enough to get their attention
