EVs are only quieter at very low speeds. If they're going 20 mph or less, they're great, but any faster and air and rolling resistance is most of what you hear.

It's also just as easy for a sociopath in an EV to roll down the windows and blast the neighborhood with noise from the stereo.

EVs are better in the sense that the mufflers of ICE vehicles can be deliberately defeated by twits.
