The Department for Transport is working with international bodies to draft recommendations on adding artificial sound to quiet vehicles. Such recommendations may specify the characteristic of the sound and the speed up to which such sound should be generated. Tyre noise is an important source of noise at speeds found on rural roads where noise levels from electric and conventional vehicles are similar. The Department for Transport will soon be publishing the report of research on the audibility of electric vehicles.
