Go Hybrid!
Quiet
 
Hybrids are quiet.
This is especially true for full hybrid vehicles, including the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape Hybrid. Because they can be operated on battery power alone in traffic and up to certain speeds, there is no noise or vibration generated by the gas engine, and subsequently, the ride is extremely quiet. And even at full throttle on the highway extra power is coming from an electric motor rather than an internal combustion engine, so in those situations a hybrid vehicle still generates relatively little noise.
