Desert Eagle Master of the Weird Veteran Registered: 01/06/01 Posts: 10283 Loc: Portugal	http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/News.asp?id=66967 Quote: There's something intrinsically satisfying about stepping down on the gas and hearing a car's engine rev up in response. But modern electric cars operate in silence, with no fuel-injection engine to make the noise we're used too. Not only does that leave drivers feeling unsatisfied, it also creates a risk to pedestrian safety. Without the sound of a car approaching, there's more risk of accidents. Audi has a solution for its line of electric cars, by adding a synthetic sound. Listen to that engine purr. I've been saying this for years. Electric cars should have a noise generator, because people are not used to having silent cars. And just wait until it becomes possible to choose the sound you want for your car like you do with ringtones today. _________________________ ©2010-oo All Your rights belong to Me By reading this You acknowledge that Your body and soul, including all your worldly possessions, are now property of this poster.

I'm about to head out the door otherwise I'd look it up... But the sound of the VTEC system engaging in a Honda motor is one of my favorite sounds in the world. _________________________ " And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"- John F.

Exactly what I was thinking. Just an impeller within a vented chamber would produce a "real" sound. Much like those "sleep machine" white noise systems.
