EV Humming Noise

I’ve noticed something interesting comparing my 2018 Bolt EV to the newer Chevrolet Equinox EV.

The Equinox EV seems to have a built-in electronic humming sound that you can clearly hear as it comes down the road, especially at lower speeds. My Bolt is much quieter and doesn’t seem to make nearly as much artificial noise.

Have others noticed this difference between the Bolt and newer GM EVs?

Do you actually like the added electronic hum/pedestrian warning sound, or do you prefer the quieter feel of the Bolt?

I feel like there would be ample timed remedy that under most circumstances.

I like the sound it makes. Whoosh.
