I believe a big part of the active sound, internal and external, is for safety purposes. I would imagine driving by the 'seat of your pants' benefits, in part, by the exhaust note. Externally, other cars as well as pedestrians, etc benefit for obvious reasons.

Not sure all electric cars do this but I would rather have this than say a whistle.
