This is a big step in the right direction, and hopefully whatever is decided will be adopted worldwide. My only issue is with the sound coming out of these things being anything other than engine noise. Musical ringtone type noises? No thanks, too distracting. Ringtones are everywhere, and I know there’s going to come a day when some jackass sets his to the same sound coming from the cars. Even if he’s not doing it just to be a prick, music isn’t as consistent and non-distracting as the sound of a motor speeding up and slowing down. Knowing what the vehicles sharing the road with me are doing is way to important to get cute with. Engine sounds have saved my life out there more times than I care to count, and my fear is that any other sound would have the wrong type of impact if you catch my drift since things that don’t sound like cars can come from any direction and are more a hindrance than a help.Japan Studies Noisier Hybrids to Protect Blind
