Am I missing something here?? When they make the ICE engines put out a sound equally as loud and obnoxious, maybe I will feel better about it. Good grief...
What do other hybrid owners think about this sound?

No hybrid for you. 🤣

As for that AVAS sound, after a few years I don’t even notice it. It kind of reminds me of seat belts and how they and the laws governing them progressed over the years.

Not that I'm going to share it, just the fact that I know how it works and how to stop it and stopped mine from this obnoxious sound.
