They are even louder than fuel burning cars over 50kph due to the extra weight. I would still rather hear loud tire noise than breathe exhaust as a pedestrian though

Do you have numbers to back that up?

I can hear ICE engines accelerating roaringly from miles away. I do not hear the same from electric cars.

The test in this video demonstrates it https://youtu.be/CTV-wwszGw8.

Obviously this applies to the ~average~ car. A hellcat or sports bike tearing down the highway will be louder but the consistent drone of tire noise increases slightly for electric cars.

Due to the extra weight you also breath in more tire dust.
