The sound should be controlled by an ambient-noise microphone so that a person with elderly but functional hearing will be able to hear the sound at a suitable distance, perhaps depending on the speed/direction of the vehicle. This noise will help the sighted too - having seen a parked car, they may by force of habit think it safe to walk behind the car while looking for hazards elsewhere.
