It’s quiet. Too quiet …
A few weeks ago I went on a ramble about how car companies are trying to add “noise” generators in hybrids because folks like to live in their own self-absorbed world and don’t pay attention to their surrounds like my mom taught us. Well it looks like there might be some selectable “car tones” ala cellphone ring tones in the future.
I’ve been trying to come up with a list of ones I’d like to get or at least suggest:
- Pac-Man sound – waka, waka, waka – Then when you hit a ped you hear the sound for when Pac-Man eats a ghost *gulp*
- Darth Vader’s theme song The Imperial March
- Europe’s The Final Countdown (just the instrumental) – Why did they take Arrested Development off the air???
- The flyby sound of an Imperial Tie Fighter
- Nelson’s laugh from The Simpsons
