Yes, we are. When you film and only sound is from driving…what volume level should you use when watching it…what is loud? You can record sound, but there is no universal correct sound level…even db doesent mean how loud it appears to be. For e.g. Tom Scott made good video about it. I tried to always include sounds like turn signal indication sound and sliding hand on steering wheel to give some comparison, but it’s not perfect either since youtube also auto adjusts sound levels. I have done a lot of testing with this and badically all the sound I have filmed is there when I focus listening it while driving…but if I dont focus on it, I dont really hear it…or I dont notice it at least. I test drove BMW i4 M50 on autumn, but couldnt film it. To the ear, it sounded similar to HR-V, maybe slightly less loud on higher speeds…but I was surprised it was not much quieter than HR-V. Of course it is difficult to make quiet EV, engine doesnt mask any wheel or wind noise… Hopefully I can film more cars in future to give better comparison. I had some oppertunity before to test new CR-V and ZR-V, but couldnt because of work situation (busy from winter to summer and then just before summer…over month of work without any freetime, just varely time to eat, take shower and sleep 😅)
Nice to see hill decent in action
Soooo cold HRV handles well in those conditions
When I travel on my Honda HR-V hybrid I don't hear so much engine noise . Are we on the same engine?
