Creepy Audible Pedestrian Protection

Hi all,

Just a gripe really - this sound was quite the surprise when we took delivery of our 2020. It's louder than an ICE and so strange sounding that pedestrians turn to see what's making the noise. Furthermore my 7 year old characterizes the sound as creepy and embarrassing. I know BMW puts a lot of thought into designing sounds for their cars but I'm wondering if they did a focus group for this one.

I know it can be coded to be off but given all the pedestrians with their noses in their smartphones it makes sense to just leave it on and get used to it If only there were another sound or two to choose from.
