Car Doctor: Plug-in hybrid makes noises when in drive

Car Doctor: Plug-in hybrid makes noises when in drive By John Paul, Special to The Journal © Peter Ricciardi Jr. PR photography/illustration AAA s Car Doctor, John Paul Q: My neighbor was showing me his new plug-in hybrid. While it was sitting there in drive, it was making a weird noise. When I mentioned it he said it was making that noise since he purchased it and the dealer said it was normal. It sounds like a whistle or whine. Research Why would any car maker want their car to make this somewhat obnoxious noise?  A: As of September 2020, electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles are required to produce a certain sound at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. The idea is that these otherwise nearly silent vehicles make this noise to alert visually impaired pedestrians.
