Low Speed Pedestrian Warning Sound

[SeaGeo]

Has anyone that's been near one of the production ready trucks heard the low speed sound? It seems weird that we haven't seemingly heard it in any of the recent builds that I can recall...

…a few people that have been around the trucks with the Rivian people have said it sounds like…soon, soon, soon, soon…

I didn't hear anything at the test drive event. They must have had it disabled.

Hopefully it’s nothing like the current Amazon vans when they backup. Those sound like the speaker is damaged.

So does the Rav4. I think the sound on the ID.4 is kind of cool. Nit great for offloading, but we've all discussed that issue.

The Jetson's spaceship sound is the obvious winner, for me.

The ID.4 sound is fine but it is loud. They put it at the upper end of the mandated volume range.

It is also distinctive, I can tell when an Id.4 drives by house just by the sound

Given the bird chirp sound for locking the doors, I hope the low speed sound is something that is a similar 'natural' sound.

Also, I hope there is a way to disable the sound when on trials. Although, I don't think there is a provision for that in the law.
...for that matter, I wish there is a way for the consumer to disable the sound...

I have seen them a couple of times recently and person now and I heard a low thrumming sound out the front. I’m guessing that is it

I mean, there is.

I have considered wiring in some extra resistors to lower the volume on my EV’s sound, but if you get in an accident and it comes out that you tampered with a safety device you are screwed. So the overly loud sound stays for me.

Hopefully we can just pull a fuse(or put in an already popped fuse) like I used to disable the airbags on my ranger when off-roading.

I think the sound of footsteps hiking would be cool for Rivian. People would think Big Foot was approaching them.

I'd rather the sound of a growling mountain lion, just so I could cruise parking lots and make people drop their groceries running for their car.
