This is about the urban core. Speed in the urban core in every US city I know is 20.

I don’t think that average speed is the relevant measure here. Top speeds would still be noisy.

But even at average speed you’d see no noise reduction from electric cars since 20mph is the point where tires are as loud as the engine. So the average would need tk go down.
