OK, so you’ve bought your ticket and you’re at the Indianapolis 500 of electric
car racing anxiously awaiting the start of the race. You’ve got your Tesla’s , Nissans,
Bimmers, Volts, and other cars all participating in the event. You check your watch/phone - yes it’s just about to start any second now. At that moment the flagman walks out to the tarmac, stops, and without warning brings the flag down to start the race !
Then……..crickets. Silence. A void of sound. All is quiet . Boring.
But you see that the cars have sprung furiously out of the gate and are already racing round the track.
But you don’t hear anything. What ?
OK, let’s rewind this and see if we can spice things up a bit and make for a far more interesting race !
As electric cars make little if any sound, why don’t we add sounds so they do ! And, we’re not limited to just internal combustion sounds like Nascar is. So, in that light, here are a few suggestions :
Death Metal – Cannibal Corpse would do nicely, as would Anthrax, Slayer, Poison, etc.
Buzz Saw - my personal favorite
Blast furnace - there’s a good one.
Screams – why not ?
Industrial Noise - whatever’s loudest
Squeaky chalk on blackboard - cringe to that !
Rocket launch - hold your ears !
So each car would have its own sound by choice as long as not taken by another car. Sounds would be broadcast over the stadium loudspeakers , and when a car or cars pull ahead of the others, a computer would que the sound to get louder. The winning car would be deafening !
So, is this a solution in search of a problem ? Please weigh in D Koser’s what do you think of this idea if anything.
Ciao All.
