Not necessarily.
Some states are looking into legislating noise-making attachments for quieter vehicles like the Prius and Insight. Seems they think they are just too darn quiet.

I can just picture an electric Harley cruising down the highway emitting Vroom Vroom noises from attached loudspeakers. Some Japanese bikes would, of course, go Ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding.
