The police car would give loud speaker noise of " tepi tepi, bagi laluan bagi laluan" so this give me an ideal of putting this in loud speaker mode: "tepi tepi kereta hybrid kat depan, bagi laluan" U know what guys!

What Lotus had to do is kinda ridiculous.. I cannot believe that we now live in an age where we have to resort to synthesized sounds to re-live the sound of a good 'ol combustion engine! I think it will be a sad, sad day for all of us who loved cars.. *sob* *sob* armandd – I think your idea is super brilliant, dude!

SQV sound? juz download and play.. and surely at that time.. those sound is consider sold as piracy... in the future when the ahbeng or mat kereta want to have louder and noisy exhaust sound… they just replace the speaker to a bigger and louder speaker.. and there will be a place where u can put what ever sound u want… ferrari turbo? double blow-off valve?

Honestly speaking, this technology is so unnecessary as the vehicle's primary noise comes from tyre noise etc etc. I find it how ironic that for years governments has been imposing noise limit to supercars and now they want to implement minimum noise levels.
