The sound of the ice motor is negligible compared with the one generated by the wheels trapping and pressurized air under them at higher speeds. So, unless ev vehicles came with substantial reductions on speed limits, the sound they generate isn't going to change.
At high speeds yes, not in the cities. Look at Sweden limiting the speeds to 30 km/h in cities, that plus EVs will improve city life significantly.
