I have the MegaOhm Motorsports disable kit installed and my truck is truly silent. But the motors make a surprising amount of noise at low speeds, a combination of a whooshing and whirring sound.When I first got the truck I also didn't hear a forward sound and only thought the motor whine was Ford's interpretation of the federal ev pedestrian law. Our kia ev6 is louder but no where near that super annoying Toyota pedestrian sound that you can hear like a 1/4 mile away.
A few months after I purchased the truck I was cruising with the windows down on a detoured route directed by several officers. Some local city police and some state troopers. All commented as I cruised past and I even spoke to them as I was still rolling by. One said that's one quiet truck, my reply it's 100 percent electric. One said what is powering your truck it's dead silent?, once again I said it's 100 percent electric. One said your truck is off, you know it's not safe or legal to coast in neutral, once again I replied it's 100 percent electric.
I swear the Easter egg to the recent gateway update last month fixed this issue. I now can here the pedestrian sound even with all the sound deadening audio upgrades that I did later on.
