Amazon trucks in my recent experience all use white noise reverse indicators. This is true for models like Sprinter vans that I know beep when operated by other companies. I’d say Amazon trucks come through my neighborhood 3-4 times per day most days. They don’t back up much. Our neighborhood is otherwise pretty quite so the noise reduction from Amazon trucks is both noticed and appreciated.
