    New Prius owner here. Love everything about this vehicle so far. But the AVAS sound is truly awful. I'm used to the Sportage PHEV AVAS, which has a very soothing sound with no whirring to it. Is there an aftermarket for AVAS sound units? I think I'm going to go bonkers with that sound coming out of the vehicle at low speeds. I've even been engaging the ICE just to make it stop.

    Thanks for the edit! I just call it the spaceship sound. There was a thread about disabling it but that could lead to legal issues. I am not sure if you could replace it with a different one as from my limited understand it's just a sort of speaker, so it should be possible. I don't know of any official aftermarket one.

    Replace it with an ice cream truck horn and play silly music (at low volume) while cruising on EV power

    I used to drive a lot of crappy old cars. If you turn up your music, you won't hear it anymore :) Same solution to the grumpy old loud engines
