You’re so right Brian. Horning someone in the US means Eff you! In Brazil a horn means “here i am”. A kinder, lighthearted sound will prevent nasty road rage. Smart!!
It doesn't make any difference whether you're driving an EV or not. (See 9:19 of your video.) Pedestrians have lost the habit of looking both ways before they cross the street or making eye-contact with drivers. (Exception: Dads walking young kids out of grocery stores. Most dads have an iron grip on their kids' wrists.) I assume in whatever car I’m driving (EV or ICE) that pedestrians in parking lots are going to walk in front of me without looking. I’m usually right. On those rare occasions when a pedestrian makes eye contact I stop, roll down my window and say, "Thank you for making eye contact."
@@Resist4 Oddly enough I haven't noticed that.I’m thinking of a grocery store that I pass frequently. People of all ages blindly walk out of the store looking straight ahead, no evidence of earphones or smartphones, plodding along with no regard for the outside world. I live in Oregon, but in California the law says that when a pedestrian steps into the street all cars stop for them. That's not the law in Oregon, but I think so many people here have come from California that their unconscious expectation is that the law is universal. I don't mind stopping, but I do mind the thoughtless, recklessness behind blindly stumbling through public spaces I see people. All I want is for them to be aware of their environment. Make eye contact. Nod. That way we can all be safer.
@@LightsOnMultiMediaMindArtswhile pedestrians ultimately have the right of way in California, it doesn't mean they can just jump out into traffic and not get cited or worse get injured. But in any State cars should stop for pedestrians, if they're in your path of travel. This just makes sense.
@@takanara7 the blind have more acute hearing than the rest of us, they can hear rolling tires. I would bet statistically more people are hit from being distracted, than the blind are.
Love the Jetson’s sound effect as I named my Model 3 George Jetson. btw... George Jetson was way ahead of his time as he has the Model 3 logo on his shirt!
That brings back memories as when I was just out of high school, I added twin electric air horns to a Honda Civic. The stock single-tone "beep" horn was left connected. Since it took a fraction of a second for the air horn pump to spin up, tapping the horn button lightly would just get a "beep" sound but holding the button down a little longer spun up the air horns which were really loud. In addition, the high beams were wired to the horn circuit so they came on when the horn button was pressed. Of course, this was done in a way so when the high beams were used, it didn't sound the horn continuously.
Most ICE vehicles are just as quiet when idling and moving at slow speeds. This noise maker mandate is another unnecessary law and will just increase the price of cars. But if we are given the ability to pick several sounds, then it could be kind of fun. Hope you didn’t violate any copyright laws with those sounds.
With ice cars all they have to do is cut off the exhaust at the manifold and if it's too loud pipe it into the cabin so it can heat the interior on cold nights or whatever since they're greener than EVs as they say it's a win win win for everybody!
You had me laughing like a lunatic at the Windows shutdown! 🤣 I need to figure out how to do this to my Model S without poking any holes in it. Also, just gonna leave this here: iPhone lock sound for when the doors lock.
I think one of the sound options for when you’re motoring through a parking lot should just be a looped/continuous sound of the Jetson’s mobile. Another one, would be Kit’s scanning sound (from Knight Rider). How about Flipper? Or something more ominous like the Cylons from Battle Star Galactica. Or Darth Vader breathing. The possibilities are endless!
might be able to get a similar result with a rasberry pi, amp and speaker. then you wouldnt have to worry so much about soldering and stuff. I think im going to try this.
You are awesome. Thanks for bringing this idea to life. It would be great to put some muscle car sound on Bob when in parking lots, see what reactions you get from people
Nice video Brian! You've inspired me to start my own youtube channel on tesla too! Hope to meet you at the Asheville, NC event this weekend. All the best!
A bluetooth/wireless version wouldn't be hard to make and would simplify the installation / wiring, could even control it with a phone app! (You could just use a bluetooth speaker, and use a sound maker app on a phone, altho, that would make it a hassle to switch to bluetooth music for in-car use)
Great mod! The Apple Mac boot-up sound would be nice. Also, making the system work with Siri shortcuts so you can control the sounds from your Apple Watch would be a nice touch.
Having the car emit noises is such a stupid regulation. One of the greatest benefits of electric vehicles for the public is the lack of noise pollution. Most modern engines these days don’t have a lot of noise anyway and if someone has headphones on they’re not going to hear any type of car coming. People just need to learn and adapt to being more aware of their surroundings when stepping out into the middle of a road.
Why isnt this available from the factory, One could download any ringtones sounds just like on phones Also BACK UP sound when REversing would be good idea
This is cool! The next level modification would be to tap into the horn button by using a relay in series with the stock horn that would allow enabling and disabling the stock horn to alternate with the pedestrian sounds. By using an Arduino or Pi Zero as a controller, it should be possible to program it to output different sounds depending on the length and frequency the horn button is pressed. For instance, a long press could sound the stock horn whereas a short press in some combination could invoke different sounds of the pedestrian horn. For safety purposes, the stock horn should be the default unless the pedestrian horn is specifically turned on. However, in some localities, it could be illegal to make such modifications to your car. Even if it's not illegal, you better know what you're doing so as to not damage the car.
hands down "meep meep" -Roadrunner style is best lol ... if only the Roadrunner would popup in front of car just as "meep meep" is pressed lol ... you can do it Brian, either air inflated or cardboard when "meep meep" is pressed 😂
Brian -- liked this video back in Sept .. and came back to see if when you installed the Speaker .. was there a connector near the placement holes for the latest noise requirement in the older Model 3's …??? With the new stuff Elon is adding and the circuit you installed -- it would be nice to have both or able to program the Tesla generator..???
My car is an older one. My vin is 11,000 so my car was made when that law was not a thought. I just drilled my own holes and wired it up. This is a self contained unit. Only thing hooked to the car is the battery (12 volt)

Hey- I recognize that power adapter. I'm so going to do this. I going to mount buttons on the back side of the lower part of the screen. Then I can just reach under while driving at any time. What would be an appropriate sound to play for another Tesla driver? I've been flashing my lights, but nobody has flashed back yet.
love to see a reaction video soon. Maybe a friend can film these people while you drive. Is there a way to control the sounds from a website? With a raspberry or something. Would be cool. Even cooler if Tesla Met you choose your sound in the future.
I just got in the power trunk and will be installing it tomorrow. Have a discount code for everyone that makes it way better to buy from my guy. Video soon
Try this : A robotic voice saying : "Get out of my way if you don't want me to print my tires on your back." Then you open your window and you say "Sorry, he is upset today because I forgot to plug him in last night". And by the way, did you hear the noise they choose for the car? The backward one is pretty cool it's like an UFO. The forward one, not so much... It's like if you were dragging some carton box under your car or having some branch with dry leafs in you wheel. Not absolutely sure that it's the official one. it was supposed to be recorded from a phone, or maybe the sound was not recorded in a good way, but damned the forward one just don't match the backward one, at least on the record.

the hockey card in the spokes sound work for me when I was 12 and the bike bell sound

The audio amplifier is no longer available on Amazon. Any recommendations for a suitable, but smaller non-stereo amplifier?
WhatIf we made a little module that would respond to a few different Homelink signals to produce the sounds ?
