Acoustic generator makes LEAF unsuited for predator hunting

[GIBBER]

So this morning I begin to pull away from the house and I see a coyote lift his head two yards over. I stop and after a moment he goes back to his 'Wile-e" ways. As soon as the front acoustic generator begins making noise he lifts his head again, this time seeing me as well and bolts. I wonder if Nissan programmed it to work beyond 30mph would it help in scattering deer?

One of the reasons I like my 2011 better - there is an off switch for the sound. I don't use it for hunting, mind. I use it to spare my neighbors the back-up signal, should I have to leave the house at an ungodly hour.

Is that one of them new-fangled Leafs where you can't turn off the blasted sound???

Yes Stoaty I have a 2013. The front AG is not even noticable and most often I don't even notice the rear anymore.

See the later pages of this thread for retrofit info if you want to disable it in a 2013:
