Well, if you want to live in such an acoustic hell hole, you are welcome. I am happily not living in one and can easily hear slowly approaching EVs, at least any of the newer ones. Anyone who manages to hear ICE cars, can also hear those EVs. It is also really hard to mistake their sound for anything else, unless you are expecting being abducted by UFOs anytime now.
Only those EVs are a problem that were produced before regulations requiring artificial sound at low speeds.
PS: I am walking a fair share on my daily commute, so I do know that perspective, also in regards to EVs.
