The Argument
Electric cars are quieter than regular cars. Because electric cars don’t have an engine, they don’t make noise.[1] This is a perfect way to reduce noise pollution. Noise pollution is disruptive noise that negatively affects organisms’ lives and health.[2] Noise pollution can cause animals not to be able to hear each other when communicating, cause adverse plant growth, and prevent restful sleep.[3] With electric cars, a quieter environment would be good for everyone.
Counter arguments
It’s dangerous if people can’t hear an electric car. If no one can hear an electric car coming, they can be easily run over.
