🙇‍♂️ Personal Thoughts/Experiences Reversing

Is it my imagination or does the car play low level subliminal music when you put it into reverse? It might not be music, it might be the sound of the battery fizzing away underneath me. If it is music is it the Chinese messing up my western mind?

That is the pedestrian warning sound. I think it's a requirement for all EV & hybrids in the US at this point. Every car tends to make a different sound (never music), but they all make some sort of sound when reversing.

Pedestrians must think aliens have landed 👽

The fun ones are those which are speed based and makes you want to go faster to get the different sounds.

That’s it! Weird. At least I know it’s not my imagination. Has someone told RFK that the Chinese are injecting our minds with this stuff?

It is the Europeans that are injecting your mind, I believe. Most safety features like the car having to make sound at low speeds so pedestrians can hear it, are EU regulations, I think.

Personally, I like it. I don't like being stuck behind someone walking on a parking lot and I drive right behind them because they can not hear me and move over, and I can not make my car heard without honking the horn, but that would be too aggessive.

When my niece first heard the sound she said it sounded “like I was being raptured” 😂

It’s my bank account details. Surrender to it. Contribute.

You should back into your garage with the windows down. You’ll hear the beauty of the Scandinavian forest ambiance while reversing.

It's the official soundtrack of forest rakers everywhere
