I wonder what kind of noises will be mandated or if it will be up to the car companies ... and if they'll be customization (like cell phone ring tones). I think the Jaws theme would be kinda awesome (especially if the intensity is matched to your speed).Quote:

Of course in the ghetto they've had these low-speed sound things for years.
Exactly my question. Customizable would be cool, kind of. People would have annoying stuff for sure. I wonder about how loud it will be. Loud enough to hear down the street? Loud enough to hear from inside the cabin? I'm imagining the commercial vehicle back-up tone, but times two thousand as you sit in bumper to bumper traffic on I-25.
Someone already implemented my idea :p

Apparently the Chevy Volt already does this with sort of a white-noise sound.

When I was in a marked unit this is the sound I would have chosen:

I remember years ago when it was discovered that VW played engine sounds through the cars stereo so the occupants had a better auditory experience inside the car. Better being that the motor sounded more powerful and louder or something. Something we're already used to like engine, exhaust, or tire noise could be implemented almost without notice. That begs the question of why cling so hard to the old that it costs millions of dollars, rather than people learning to adapt for free?

Seems like a good match for the upcoming Tesla semi.
Was it awesome Justin?
No.
My dog and my mother think otherwise.Quote:
