Vroom Vroom or Beep Beep?

All new electric cars must emit artificial noises. However, a US authority wants to give drivers the choice of sound. I already have a few interesting suggestions.
In Switzerland, all new electric cars must emit artificial noises. This is intended to help prevent accidents, as Tesla and the like are virtually silent when travelling at low speeds. These artificial sounds must be audible up to a speed of 20 km/h and in reverse.
The US government is also introducing such a regulation. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests that drivers should be allowed to choose the sound themselves. Vehicle manufacturers should therefore provide a library of pre-installed sounds. Drivers should be able to choose their favourite from this library.
Car manufacturers are investing a lot of money in the development of such sounds. BMW, for example, recently hired Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer to develop the sound of its electric cars. Whether we will be able to determine the sound of our vehicle ourselves in the future remains to be seen. I was cheeky enough to put together a few ideas.
