You made very good point about no so silent hub motors
Popular perception is that DD hub motors are silent
I would never live with that high whine ,electric locomotive kind of noise
But you forgot or do not know that there are completely silent hub motors out there
USA designed and made hub motors like Eplus and legendary Tidal Force are virtually silent even under hard acceleration
Not only motor itself but how is controlled by electronics decide if hub motor is silent
Obviously cheap China brands are noisy ones
