I predict this will increase road rage dramatically. Can you imagine an intersection with 20 different cars with 20 different digital noises all at once?
To: WOBBLY BOB
This idea will get strictly regulated when the politicians realize that most good ole boys will have “Dixie” as their car sound.

May be a whole new market for "ringtones"....maybe "cartones"...you pick the sound effect of any type of truck, car, jet, and the type of muffler, i.e. glass packs, truck mufflers, NO muffler...whatever.
Or, you could load music on it too...Jesse Jackson's car would no doubt play "We Shall Overcome"; Nancy Pelosi's would be "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha", and obama's limo would play a book-on-tape reciting "Mein Kampf".

Not meaning to depress you, but given that you own a Renault, I mean Nissan Rogue with the CVT, you need to sign up on this forum so that you can stay ahead of the problem. I just got rid of a 2005 Nissan Murano that in the last year I owne dit suffered a Driver’s seat adjuster failure andauto door lock failure, which are very common to the Murano and Nissan Vehicles. I did not want to wait for the CVT to go out which seems to happen often between 90 and 110 thousand miles and costs $5500 to fix

You need to go sign up and check in there on a regular basis, so that you stay up on what problems others are having.

>> Those electric carts in the airports need a fake vroom too. <<
I agree, because I was almost hit by one. Nothing to joke about.

It doesn’t matter if I’m nearby with the pipes rumbling some real V8 300+ American music you won’t hear a wimpmoprius.

I want the pod-racing sounds from Star Wars...not the Annakin one, the little four footed monster one. That’s awesome!

Stop at the curb; look left, look right, look back to the left, then cross te street if no cars are coming.
Good advice in kindergarten; still good advice over 55 years later.

I think the car should have a Yabba Dabba Doo horn.

The horn should be a pterodactyl that squawks and shrugs and says “Its a living”.

I want mine to sound like the Flintstones footsteps. LOL. Very fitting, considering that the hybrids are only a slight improvement over foot-powered cars.

I see a great opportunity for an enterprising person: Hybrid car noise machines that allow you to select any one of hundreds of noises at the push of a button. It could make driving in traffic a lot more interesting.
