The alternative to noisemakers is to completely ban electric cars until there are alternatives to improve bystander safety to equivalent levels. In that scenario you will still have the same noise pollution from cars with real non-simulated miniature explosions so electric carse with noise makers are not worse in that respect. If we did not already have noisy cars then yes perhaps electric cars with noise makers would not be allowed but they would also not be allowed without them.
