No and I'm getting fed up with that weird commercial for the Adam as well.
Another problem is that they are practically silent, and crossing roads if
you cannot see well suddenly has a very real extra danger. EU say they
make having a sound manditory, but they allow the driver to switch it off.
Logic?

Different rules in different countries.
In the UK they are illegal.
ie you are not allowed to make a continuous audible warning
So they have to be turnable off.
