8. I think this is silly

First of all, no car, not even a hybrid, is perfectly quiet when it is moving. Even bicycles make some noise when they're rolling down the highway with a little speed.

As for not making noise when stopped, that may be true. But how many people have been run over by a stopped car?

I think similar complaints to this have been made when light rail has been brought into a community. The trains make very little noise (just the sound of the wires humming), unlike the racket from a diesel-powered freight train or even an Amtrak.
