Hi I was looking to see if anyone knows if you can get like a sound box or something like that for my hybrid because I find it very quiet

Moved to the Yaris club.

Would have thought the current Yaris would already have Accoustic Vehicle Alert System (sound generator) fitted - operates on EV mode up to 12 mph. Intended to warn pedestrians and other road users of an approaching hybrid/EV - though not intended to be heard from inside the vehicle.

@FROSTYBALLS the car sounds like a hover board on ev mode even when I’m reversing there is no sound from it ok still hover bored but not very safe when reversing out drive!!! I just thought you could get something to make an engine noise so people know I’m coming

Just be cautious and use your horn to warn people around you. I had been doing that for many years.

Regards 👍

Ahh right; Don't worry - You can't hear it in the car so much but that UFO noise is actually quite loud outside the car!

And that three-pot is also very rumbly when it spins up - I actually think this car at low speed is noisier than my old petrol yaris was! :laugh:

The following topic describes why we have AVAS, and it is now mandatory on all new electric and hybrid vehicles: 

As I said earlier, it isn't necessary to be heard inside the vehicle.

Yeah pot is car slang for engine cylinder; Sorry, don't know where I picked that term up from but it's ingrained now! I blame this forum! :tongue:

Cyl-in-der is three syllables, pot is one.

Saves time and effort 🙂

Were you a motorcyclist by any chance?  That’s where I picked the term up from.
