Do you like loud cars? Then you're probably not impressed with the fake sounds automakers have been cooking up for electric vehicles. Let's check in though.

Here we have two opposite approaches: the Dodge Charger Daytona has external speakers and a fake exhaust soundtrack that's as loud as a Hellcat V8 and skips like a CD when you change settings. Sure. The Hyundai Ioniq 5N is virtually quiet outside but inside it sounds like a futuristic four-cylinder banging off the rev limiter.

Both companies tried really hard. One failed, one came close. But neither hold a candle to the real thing, and it'll be a long time before they do.
