Alternately: baby crying noises so a traffic jam would sound like a nursery full of crybabies.-- doctorremulac3, Jan 31 2020 [doc], this is without a doubt one of your best - no, darn it, absolutely your finest idea. In fact, I'm nominating it for Time Magazine's "Best idea ever and we're not kidding bro" award.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 31 2020 ...and the sarcasm award goes to... envelope please.... (goodness I'm so nervous, giggle!).... OH MY G-HOD!! MAXWELL BUCHANAN!!!! (crowd goes wild)-- doctorremulac3, Jan 31 2020 [+] because it might be funny with doppler effects.-- pertinax, Feb 01 2020 What about the roaring engine and squealing, clattering tracks of a very large AFV ?-- 8th of 7, Feb 01 2020 That reminds me of the story of Yuri Luzhkov summoning a 10- tonne AFV to drive over and crush a BMW that was illegally parked in a bus lane - a story that I cannot now find on the internet, so maybe I dreamed it.-- pertinax, Feb 01 2020 No, it happened. They later admitted the incident was staged, but it did happen.-- 8th of 7, Feb 01 2020 Well, I liked it.-- blissmiss, Feb 03 2020 Of course; watching a BMW being crushed is always a source of joy.-- 8th of 7, Feb 03 2020 [pertinax] - your search will work better if you look for Arturas Zuokas instead of Luzhkov; Vilnius instead of Moscow, and a Mercedes instead of the Beamer.-- lurch, Feb 03 2020 Yes, but to be fair, he got all the details right, apart from the location, the perpetrator and the victim - certainly enough to get a death sentence south of the Manson-Nixon line, as long as the accused is black and the judge and jury are all white....-- 8th of 7, Feb 03 2020 D'oh! Thank you, [lurch].-- pertinax, Feb 03 2020 Yeah.. What could possibly go wrong? Mistaking a car for a dog? If car horns were to howl like wolfs, would dogs tune in to resonate?
// Arturas Zuokas, Vilnius, and a Mercedes
We had not seen a sight like that after Remigijus Šimašius came into service.-- Mindey, Feb 06 2020 As a nod to the history of movie sound effects, I'd like to have the "Wilhelm Scream" as my car horn sound-- hippo, Feb 06 2020 The sound if the RMS Titanic's hooter - at full volume - would be excellent, although the equipment is somewhat bulky.-- 8th of 7, Feb 06 2020 ya have to move this to ::Car::Sound-- pashute, Dec 22 2023 Done, thx.
Wow, looking back I was on some kind of horn obsession, comes from living where I do. Obnoxious people with their Teslas whose time is so valuable they can't be bothered with proles getting in the way to their mega companies or mansions. Honking at each other for the slightest driving faux pas.
By the way, curious how many others know that's pronounced foe pah but still pronounce it fauks pass in their head when they read it. Just me?-- doctorremulac3, Dec 22 2023 random, halfbakery
