I think this is a solution in search of a problem; but having said that -- it is a very subtle noise. Barely noticeable for most of us, but it would probably help locate the car for a blind person. So, either way it is nothing to worry about.

The Leaf is incredibly quiet to drive -- a friend has tinnitus and I'm pretty sure it would not require him to wear ear plugs.
