Whether you love them or loathe them, artificial engine and motor sounds are becoming more ubiquitous in cars. Some companies are doing interesting things with them. Hyundai and Kia are using artificial sounds to help simulate gear shifts. BMW went to the lengths of getting famed film composer Hans Zimmer to help create sounds for its EVs such as the iX and i4. The company apparently isn’t content with just using the same old sound system forever, though. For the Neue Klasse electric cars, it’s building on those basics, sometimes with unusual sources.
