Empa-TCS study: Electric cars stay atop in noise duel at traffic lights
Dübendorf, 24.06.2025 — Empa and the Touring Club Switzerland (TCS) have, for the first time, conducted a joint research project. The study set out to investigate how the noise levels of electric cars and cars with combustion engines differ. While hardly any differences can be detected at constant speed, e-cars are significantly quieter when accelerating.
