I always wanted to have a hit song that had different radar detector beeps and cell phone rings in the backgroud... |
|
| |
When I was younger I had a record where one song had some phantom harmonies that sounded exactly like our doorbell. I turned the music down everytime, laughing at the fact that I could not be sure. |

We get the same nasty sound effects in my city, but they're usually found on commercials for personal injury lawyers. (Nobody likes ambulance chasers either, andreamer.) |
|
| |
I guess this won't happen until someone sues a radio station for distracting them with these sound effects while driving. Hope that happens soon- and that no one gets seriously hurt in the process (except the injury lawyers and used car dealers, of course). |

You want true sound effects? Listen to Billy Joel's Glass Houses CD. I used to play the breaking glass in a department store I worked in just to freak out the managers. Worked every single time. Better than that, put your phone receiver up to the speaker when Sometimes A Fantasy starts with the telephone's touch-tones. If it doesn't work, dial "1" first. I got some mental hospital when I tried it. |

That's hilarious, [gman]. Better yet, we need a song that incorporates that mythical microtonal noise that supposedly gives you long distance (used on the movie "The Core"). |

As to the original idea, I'm all for it. Drivers are stressed out enough as it is. They shouldn't have to be scared half to death just to get their attention. |
|
| |
I'd also quite like it if other cars could be banned from
making noise when I'm trying to listen to the radio. |
|
| |
I'd quite like it if radios were banned from cars completely, so the drivers can get back to the trivial business of driving the bloody car. |
