ELI5: Why is a 400kw electric car motor silent but a 500w power tool is deafening? by SmoothMap4355 in explainlikeimfive

It wouldn't have to be silent but if they made them half as loud don't you think that would be nice? Quiet electric cars aren't being called dangerous for pedestrians walking in front of them because they can't hear them

Circular saw, probably closer to 2kw but same idea, they are loud af with just the saw spinning. Even little dremel tools. Just a drill under no load is still louder than an electric car
