    I’m failing to see how the first image is relevant. Isnt that comparing cars and trucks, not electric and ICE?

      [This comment is now included under the image in question]

      The little table about cars and trucks compares the crossover speed above which tyre noise surpasses drivetrain noise.

      Graph:
      Car noise sources, ICE drivetrain with a notchy transmission.

      Meaning:
      The constant traffic roar in the suburbs will continue, because at dual carriageway speed, eliminating drivetrain noise has minuscule effect on total noise.
