Motor sound

[larry styles]

What are your thoughts on the sound of the MG's electric motors? I find the sound a bit unusual, almost like an airplane.

Totally agree, it’s like a turbine whirring. Probably because the electric motor has that smooth, nonstop hum, which is way different from traditional engine sounds.

The sound of electric motors can be unique compared to traditional engines. MG's motors may produce a higher-pitched hum, but it's pretty common for EVs to have distinctive noises.

The motor sound is definitely noticeable, but I kinda like it. Makes me feel like I’m driving something high-tech. I heard that sound is partly due to the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor design. If it ever gets too loud, maybe some extra sound dampening mats could help, though it’s probably more noticeable because EVs are so quiet overall.

The electric motor sound can vary between models, but a “plane-like” sound isn’t uncommon. It’s often due to the motor’s high-frequency hum.
