As electric motion increasingly become the primary drive technology in passenger vehicles, the expectations placed on their performance extend well beyond efficiency and power density. Acoustic behavior has emerged as a decisive factor in the perceived quality of electric vehicles (EVs). Unlike internal combustion engines, whose noise signatures are familiar and often masked, electric drives operate more quietly making previously negligible sounds and vibrations far more noticeable to occupants.
